NRL who provide engineering recruitment and contracting services across the UK and globally, are turning to colleagues to help shape the next step in the NRL Group’s carbon strategy. The Group, which recently opened a new Teesside Recruitment branch in the Wilton Centre, achieved the Carbon Neutral International Standard across their operations in 2021 – and are now looking at how they can continue to drive environmental initiatives.

Keen to ensure that everyone had the opportunity to be involved with this activity, colleagues from across their Recruitment, Non-Destructive Testing and Rail contracting branches were invited to sign up to become carbon champions. The team of champions, led by the Group’s Compliance Manager Pat McCarthy, will meet regularly to advance NRL’s carbon strategy. Looking for both regional and company-wide opportunities to reduce carbon consumption.

Having spent recent years supporting engineering clients to advance their net-zero energy objectives including identifying transferrable skills to place workers onto new green energy projects, the NRL Group are now keen to ensure that they make similar advances within their own operations. No idea is off limits for consideration by the team of carbon champions, and the NRL’s Group Executive board hopes that this collaborative approach will help to generate fresh ideas and ambitious future plans.

To maintain the NRL Group’s carbon neutral status, the organisation invests in carbon credits each year to offset any consumption that cannot be immediately mitigated, supporting projects which complement their own business activities – including advancing clean energy projects in developing countries.
