Managing Director of Vero Screening, Rupert Emson, said of the project: “As a company, we have always been environmentally aware but our recent ‘greening’ project has highlighted some further efficiency we could make. As well as being a paperless office and giving company bicycles to our staff, we think it’s really important to offset the carbon that our business creates and, by working with JP Morgan Climate Care, we can be confident that they will invest our donation into a range of projects aimed at reducing the effects of harmful carbon emissions.”
Vero Screening currently manage a wide range of pre-employment screening programmes for over 200 clients across the UK, ranging from call centres to commercial law firms, and financial services companies to retailers.
