Hanson Search: Our Commitment to B Corp Principles

At Hanson Search, our journey to B Corp certification is rooted in our longstanding commitment to ethical practices and positive impact. Our certification reflects our dedication to prioritising people, purpose, and the planet. Here are the key initiatives and practices that have helped us achieve this prestigious status:

People: Empowering Our Team

Training and Development:

  • We offer comprehensive internal training on diversity and inclusion, ensuring our team is well-equipped to foster an inclusive work environment.
  • We set specific, measurable diversity improvement goals to continually enhance our workplace culture.

Leadership and Ownership:

  • Hanson Search is led by a woman and is majority-owned by women, showcasing our commitment to gender diversity.
  • As an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), we are majority-owned by our employees. This model fosters shared success and accountability, with everyone having a vested interest in the company’s prosperity.

Career Development:

  • We provide clear career paths, conduct annual reviews, and incorporate social and environmental goals into individual career plans.
  • Our employees enjoy benefits such as private healthcare, subsidised health and wellness activities, and part-time and flexible work solutions.

Fair Compensation and Well-being:

  • All full-time employees are paid above the London Living Wage.
  • We support our employees’ charitable initiatives by allowing them to choose charities for company donations and matching their contributions.

People: Empowering Our Team

Diversity and Inclusion:

  • We actively track diversity metrics and implement initiatives to ensure diverse shortlists for our recruitment processes.
  • Our focus extends to individuals from underserved backgrounds, offering them opportunities through specific job postings, training sessions, and workshops.

Community Engagement:

  • We conduct regular feedback surveys to continuously improve our customer service and community engagement.
  • Our efforts to promote diversity encompass race, gender, age, disabilities, and sexual orientation, aiming to create fair and equitable opportunities for all.

Planet: Ensuring Environmental Responsibility

Carbon Neutrality:

  • We have partnered with https://ecologi.com/Ecologi to achieve carbon neutrality, reducing our environmental footprint.
  • Our office building adheres to strict recycling policies, and hazardous waste is disposed of responsibly.

Sustainable Practices:

  • We offer a cycle-to-work scheme and allow employees to work from home 50% of the time to reduce commuting-related emissions.
  • We meticulously screen and monitor our suppliers to ensure alignment with our social and environmental goals.

At Hanson Search, our B Corp certification is not just a badge of honour but a responsibility we embrace wholeheartedly. We are committed to maintaining and improving our practices to ensure we continue to make a positive impact on our people, community, and planet.
