Our dedicated climate change recruitment team is expert in connecting talented candidates who have the ability to make an impact with progressive organizations to drive sustainable change. Our network is unparalleled in tackling climate change, with a focus on decarbonization, climate finance, meeting ambitious net-zero targets, and nature-based solutions.
We find impactful people to make your business ready for tomorrow.
As pioneers of search, recruitment and talent development in sustainable finance in 2003, Acre was the first recruitment consultancy with a global team specializing in responsible investment, sustainable finance, and impact investing. Our work has created the largest and most established global recruitment network for sustainable finance professionals.
We are proud to enable businesses to build resilience, manage risks and become more sustainable.
We work with talented professionals in all areas of ESG, from influential leaders to help push forward sustainable investment and corporate citizenship agendas, to analysts and reporting practitioners. Acre’s pioneering work in sustainability, ESG, responsible investment, sustainable finance and impact investing is paving the way for a more sustainable future, and has created the largest global recruitment network and the most comprehensive dataset in the market.
We enable organizations to manage risk, utilise ESG research and integration to become more sustainable, and outperform their markets.
At Acre, we work with the most aspirational businesses with the potential to make real change; from those who are just starting out to those who are well on their journey to crafting a legacy. 20 years of experience in sustainability recruitment, combined with our extensive global network and our range of sustainability jobs, enables us to provide talent solutions that are designed to deliver this change.
We find talented sustainability professionals and develop their skills to make a true impact in ambitious, progressive organizations.
We have in-depth experience helping organizations take a pragmatic approach when connecting with society. Our dedicated corporate affairs and communications executive search team are always on hand to consult, advise and challenge boards and executive committees to identify, evaluate and secure the modern blend of skill sets required to enable better corporate decision-making.
We’ll meet you at the point where your business’s purpose, performance and reputation converge by filling your corporate affairs and communications jobs with esteemed market leaders.
As one of the first and only firms specializing in energy and clean technology recruitment, we’ve been placing world-leading experts in energy and clean technology jobs with corporates, power producers, consultancies and technology innovators since 2003. If your business is aspirational to meet ambitious net-zero targets, regardless of what industry you’re in, we’re best placed to support.
Your business needs to invest in clean energy and prioritise energy-efficient carbon projects; our business knows the right people to help you drive this change.
Driving impactful environmental change starts with cultural change, and we understand the difference that the right people make. Our environmental recruitment consultants are trusted by leading corporates, NGOs, non-profits and consultancies to build high performing environmental teams and to place well-established professionals into a range of environmental jobs.
If your business is ambitious to drive meaningful environmental change, get in touch with our specialist environmental recruitment team today.
Since 2003, we’ve been connecting talented candidates who have the ability to make an impact with progressive organizations to ensure that their people get home safe and well, every day. Not only can our specialist environment, health and safety (EHS) recruitment team find the best candidates for your EHS jobs, but we’ll also develop and nurture existing teams to ensure they have the skills required for your business to prosper and progress.
We find and develop the current and future leaders that your business needs to build a safer, more sustainable future.
What Our Clients Say
-
We had been looking to fill a difficult role for 2 years and had been through several rounds of interviewing without success. With their networking and specialist knowledge of the area, Acre was able to find a number of talented candidates which led to a successful appointment.
Global Technical Manager
Syngenta
-
Acre was the only specialist search firm able to assist with our CSR search requirement. They were professional and extremely knowledgeable and we would not have been able to hire the talent we did without their expert assistance.

Frameworks is the kind of innovative and bold move we have come to expect from Acre. This initiative leads the way in driving a much-needed change in the Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) profession and confirms Acre’s place as a market leader. The feedback from assessing the entire Lendlease EHS team has allowed us to refocus, engage, and develop our people to drive our organizational goal of creating an incident and injury-free workplace. Utilising Acre's assessment service as part of their recruitment offering supported us to make informed hiring decisions and to seamlessly transition new staff from recruitment into development.
