A focus on sustainability: LHi continues to integrate ESG into business decisions, from internal policies to industry partnerships, ensuring we contribute to a cleaner, greener future. Empowering women in leadership: The launch of the Women’s Sales Board marked a major step toward achieving 50/50 gender representation in leadership within five years. Technology-driven impact: AI-powered recruitment solutions enhance our ability to connect top talent with organisations making a difference in clean energy and beyond. What this means for Clean Energy talent solutions For us at Piper Maddox, this report reaffirms our mission: To power the clean energy transition by connecting the best talent with the companies leading the charge. With LHi doubling down on ESG commitments and sustainable recruitment, we are better positioned than ever to support clients and candidates who share our passion for a net-zero future.
