We’re seeing a lot of change in the industry that is driven by decarbonisation and sustainability, with lots of companies setting up environmental products desks and looking into how they can offset their carbon footprint in their own supply chains. It’s great to see the bigger picture with the work that we do and see how the talent we help to place make a meaningful impact.
