Our Responsibility

We are a business with ethical, social and environmental responsibilities at its core.

We have chosen to contribute to the global effort to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals, which together seek to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all.

As a result, NLSearch has implemented a comprehensive and robust 4 pillar CSR programme that ensures we are tackling our responsibility from all angles.

We encourage every employee to play a part in our CSR commitment, which is intrinsic in building our company culture. 

For more information, please read our CSR Policy and Environmental Policy here.’

Ethical Business

NLSearch was founded to provide an honest, open, transparent and ethical recruitment service for candidates and companies in Hong Kong.

These qualities are important in everything we do. That includes our PR and marketing, the way we deal with clients and candidates, our fee structures, and the ‘extra mile’ we travel with everyone to ensure we get the right match and a successful outcome. Through this approach, we aim to build trust and confidence in our clients, our people and the wider society.

This is in fact our top priority because in the world of recruitment, the importance of those qualities can have a major impact on the lives of individuals and companies.’

Our People

We recognise the value and importance of our employees and managing talent within our business is a priority.

We believe that the best teams are diverse and inclusive, and that people flourish in a safe and inclusive environment where they are supported in expanding their careers and developing their resilience.

As a result, this area of CSR is always adapting and growing. A commitment to giving our employees a voice, improving their learning and development opportunities and creating new employee initiatives based on the real demands of our people, makes this a job that we’re glad is never finished and is always getting better.’

Climate Change & Our Carbon Footprint

We understand the importance of our carbon footprint and the impact of our day-to-day business activities on climate change.

Most of the devastating consequences of climate change on our planet and human lives will be irreversible if we don’t act now.

Our Contribution

We are committed to addressing UN Sustainability Goal Number 13, that is, to take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.

Besides our green office practices we have partnered with EcoMatcher to offer a direct solution to our clients and employees to offset some of their carbon footprint involved in the recruitment process.

How?

For every employee we hire at NLSearch, we adopt and gift 1 newly planted tree to that employee.

We also extend this offer to our clients and for each permanent placement made by NLSearch, we adopt and gift 1 newly planted tree to our client.

This works to offset some carbon accumulated in our business practices in order for us to maintain a low carbon recruitment process.

1 tree for every successful placement

1 tree for every employee that we hire

Benefits of tree planting

Trees sequester carbon and other greenhouse gas that significantly contribute to climate change and, in turn, replenish the atmosphere with oxygen.

Planting trees also helps to reduce soil salinity, combats wind and water erosion, enhances biodiversity and restores habitats for native animals.

While offsetting our carbon, tree planting also provides local employment, supports local businesses, villages and entire communities. We couldn’t think of a better way to exercise our responsibility.’

Our Green Office                                                                         

In order to manage our environmental footprint, we have implemented a ‘go green’ policy in our offices. Waste reduction, reduced resource consumption and energy efficiency are just some of the ways in which we are working towards an eco-friendly office.   

While a full list of our green practices can be found in our Environmental Policy, here are some of the ways we are being more conscious: 

Transport 

We minimise the energy impact of travel: – 

  • We encourage our workforce to travel to work by public transport and where possible, by walking; 

  • We encourage the use of video conferencing and audio call technology to reduce travel for business meetings.
