ACR backs Forest for Peterborough

All the candidates we place in permanent roles this year won’t just land a job – they’ll get a tree!

As an agency we’ve take n on the challenge issued by Peterborough Environment City Trust (Pect) to help create a ‘Forest for Peterborough’.

The idea isn’t to actually create one forest but to plant pockets of a variety of trees, creating ‘green corridors’ to improve the surroundings for residents and give wildlife a welcome boost.

We’ve worked closely with Pect on a number of projects over the last couple of years – and this one, launched by tv personality and eco campaigner Clive Anderson, falls in perfectly with our eco-credentials and strategy of community involvement.

So, each time we place a candidate in a permanent role this year we will plant a tree. It doesn’t matter whether it’s an entirely new role, one where a temp has been made permanent or where a contract role becomes a permanent position. The candidate will receive a certificate and be offered the chance to plant their own tree – or we’ll do it on their behalf.

We’re looking forward to the next official tree planting in February when we’ll start planting for those candidates we’ve placed in new jobs.
