Social responsibility
UN Global Compact
At Education World, we believe in more than just filling job vacancies; we're committed to shaping the future and making a positive impact on a global scale. That's why we're honoured to be participants of the United Nations Global Compact, a prestigious initiative dedicated to promoting sustainability, ethical practices, and responsible business conduct across industries and borders.
When you partner with Education World, you're not simply engaging a recruitment agency; you're aligning yourself with a powerful movement that prioritises social responsibility and environmental stewardship. Here's what being part of the United Nations Global Compact means for us:
1. Sustainability: We are dedicated to fostering sustainable practices in the workplace and beyond. From promoting diversity and inclusion in hiring to reducing our carbon footprint, Education World is committed to making environmentally and socially responsible decisions.
2. Ethical Practices: Integrity and transparency are at the core of everything we do. As members of the Global Compact, we uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct in our recruitment processes, ensuring fairness, respect, and equal opportunities for all candidates.
3. Responsible Business: Education World operates with a commitment to responsible business practices, striving to create value not only for our clients but also for society as a whole.
Plant a Tree Campaign
We're thrilled to announce a new partnership with Treeapp! Through our 'Plant a Tree Campaign,' we're enhancing environmental sustainability and supporting local communities.
Education World pledges to plant one tree for every position we fill. Treeapp, a global tree planting organisation, operates sites worldwide, planting over 250 species of trees across five continents. Their sustainable approach has earned them recognition from Sir David Attenborough and international news outlets.
We’re investing in a private forest in Indonesia, focusing on growing mangrove trees with Treeapp's expertise. Over the past three decades, Indonesia has lost over 40% of its mangrove forests, leading to increased flooding and natural water-related disasters.
Mangrove estuaries are crucial natural barriers for erosion control, protecting lands during tropical storms and flooding. These reforestation efforts also benefit around 300 species of tropical birds and over 500 species of coral reefs.
Treeapp works directly with local planting communities and NGOs to ensure cost-effective and impactful reforestation, maximising positive environmental, social, and economic impacts.
We're excited to embark on this journey with Treeapp, leveraging their expertise to protect and restore the environment in Indonesia and beyond. The project kicks off with the planting of 37,338 trees in our Group's private forest.
Join us as we make a difference, one tree at a time!
Our Charity Partner for 2024
Helping Little Hearts and their Families
The Red Sky Foundation are heart heroes in action! They not only educate children on how to keep their hearts healthy, but provide defibrillators and other life-saving equipment for both children and adults with heart conditions. By supporting this cause, we're not just contributing to knowledge but also ensuring that hearts are safeguarded with the real stuff!
Throughout the course of this year, we’ll be organising and taking part in lots of fundraising activities. We wholeheartedly invite you to help us support this wonderful charity - follow our journey on our fundraising page, help us to raise awareness or even give what you can, no matter how small. Your support will make a big impact on little hearts!
