Testimonials

  • Patrick Mahon - Common Seas - Testimonial

    Samantha Calvey was extremely helpful throughout the entire process, contacting me regularly to update me on progress and helping me to think through my approach to the recruitment process. This was particularly useful for me as I have been in my current role for 17 years, so was somewhat out of practice!

Service Overview

Making an Impact:

Acre works with a range of non-profit organisations to help drive programmes around sustainability related initiatives. This includes charities, foundations, membership bodies and multi-stakeholder-initiatives (MSIs).

The non-profits that we work with tackle a range of challenges including:

  • Circular economy including ocean plastics

  • Human rights including worker safety and gender empowerment

  • Habitat protection and enrichment

  • Energy and climate change 

Our Services:

We work on a range of positions, including executive level roles (CEO’s, Executive Directors, Operations Directors and other C-level roles), other commercial positions, and roles which require domain knowledge of the issue being addressed. Where we are engaged to source commercial professionals, we can utilise Acre’s Framework’s competency assessment tool to add extra insight to the interview process.

Acre has undertaken extensive executive search work with multi-stakeholder-initiatives, which are formed to facilitate collaboration by a number of different companies looking to address a common challenge. We have undertaken extensive work with non-profits in a range of countries including Europe, North America, the sub-continent (including Bangladesh) and beyond.

We work on permanent recruitment assignments as well as contract and interim assignments. We can also support our clients with consultancy assignments via the Acre Bench, a group of best-in-class sustainability interim consultants and freelancers.
