Our Commitment to Environmental, Social and Governance Principles

At Oakstone International, we understand that effective leadership is crucial to building sustainable, ethical, and socially responsible organisations. As a leading executive search firm, we are dedicated to upholding the highest standards of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles in every aspect of our work.

Environmental Responsibility

We recognise the importance of environmental stewardship in today’s business landscape. We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint, minimising waste, and promoting sustainable practices both in our offices and throughout our process. We also prioritise placing leaders who share our commitment to environmental sustainability and can drive positive change within their organisations.

Why One Tree Planted?

One Tree Planted’s global commitment and passion towards the environment make them the perfect partner to support. They want to make it simple for anyone to help the environment by planting trees. Together, we can restore forests, create habitat for biodiversity, and make a positive social impact around the world.

Oakstone is committed to donating enough for ten trees to be planted for every placement we make.

Since 2014, One Tree Planted has more than doubled the number of trees planted each year, and they are working with partners across 80+ countries in North America, Latin America, Africa, Asia, Europe and the Pacific.

One Tree Planted has planted over 92.7 million trees in more than 80 countries across the globe since 2014. In 2022, they more than doubled their impact from 2021 - with 52.7 million trees!

“There is always more we can do to be accountable and committed to contributing to the well-being of communities and society through various environmental and social measures.

Partnering with One Tree Planted, a non-profit organisation focused on global reforestation, allows Oakstone to contribute directly to restoring and helping some of the world’s most vulnerable areas.

One Tree Planted makes it easy for individuals and businesses to give back to the environment to create a healthier climate, protect diversity and help reforestation efforts. They provide measurable impacts so you can see exactly how your donations are being used and where.”
