Building a sustainable future: Our ESG commitment
Words on a poster with no action isn’t us. We’re actively committed to people, purpose and planet, and building a better world of work for all.
At Talent, we take our values pretty seriously. Our ESG strategy is no exception to the rule.
Over the past five years we have continued to build a world-leading organisation with an overarching vision of ‘empowering people to build a better world of work’.
We are committed to creating a more sustainable future for the planet; nurturing the lives of the people we impact and creating opportunities to succeed; and ensuring we live up to our commitment of best practice corporate governance, transparency and accountability.
It’s important to us that our ESG strategy has a holistic approach.

Building out a risk management framework, agreeing on annual ESG reporting metrics, and increasing our leadership diversity are all things we are proud to put into action.
Our Reconciliation Action Plan
As an Australian-founded business, our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) is an important first step in our reconciliation journey. Our mission is to bring real value to people and organisations by building highly skilled and engaged teams, rethinking technology solutions, and improving lives by creating a strong sense of belonging. To truly impact lives for the better, we understand this begins with embracing our responsibility to take positive steps towards reconciliation.
Whilst we acknowledge that are we in the early stages of our reconciliation journey, we have taken some fundamental steps to initiate our journey, including becoming members of Supply Nation and creating a RAP working group. The role of the Reconciliation Working Group to date has been to formulate, oversee, and review the Reconciliation Action Plan, and on an ongoing basis they will implement and evolve the actions contained in this plan as we progress in our reconciliation journey. Our Reconciliation Action Plan Working Group includes representation from across our varied business units, a range of staff levels and geographic locations.
