Matt Weston , Senior District Director at Robert Half , said , “ ESG has become a critical part of the recruitment process , both for attraction and retention , particularly among younger employees who are perhaps more alert to ethical and sustainable practices . They want to see authentic efforts that truly make a difference .
“ Our advice to businesses is simple : if you want to keep your best talent and attract new talent into the business , don ’ t rely on rhetoric . Ensure you have a clear , demonstrable ESG plan in place with tangible , measurable actions ."

He added , “ My parents live in Gdansk and this is personal for me . Who knows what could happen next ? Next year it could be Poland - it could be my parents needing help . For me , this affects Poland and it affects my family and I look at the children and my heart breaks . I have three children myself .
“ My grandparents fought with the British Army in World War Two as allies so there ’ s history there . I want to do this .”
