Corporate Social Responsibility

Reed’s aim is to be the ‘First Choice for People’ and as such we take our responsibilities as a ‘Corporate Citizen’ seriously.

Reed’s socially responsible activities include employment initiatives, such as placing the long-term unemployed into work via Reed in Partnership’s Welfare to Work programs, and environmental concerns.

Carbon Neutral Logo

In 2005, Reed became the UK's first major recruitment company to go CarbonNeutral™. As a group, Reed produced 4,208 tonnes of Carbon in 2004 and this is now being offset through investment in forestry projects throughout the UK. These projects, which include five in Scotland, one in Durham and one in Northumberland, help to offset carbon emissions by absorbing the Carbon Dioxide already in the atmosphere.
