Green Group
Established in 2020 to bring together The Green Recruitment Company (TGRC) and Green Executives (GX), Green Group is a specialist talent partner supporting the global green economy. The Group helps organisations attract high-quality talent across renewable energy, clean technology, manufacturing, ESG and green finance. Its experienced consultants provide fast, reliable and insight-led recruitment solutions, supporting clients from startups and scale-ups through to global enterprises.
Headquartered in London, Green Group has an international office network spanning Europe, South Africa, North America and Asia. Since bringing TGRC and GX together under one group in 2020, the business has scaled its headcount from 20 to more than 80 employees and increased turnover from $2.5m to more than $35m. During that time, it has also diversified beyond permanent direct hire solutions into contract and temporary services, executive search and RPO workforce solutions.
“Building a more sustainable global economy is one of the defining challenges of our generation. With climate change placing increasing strain on communities and natural ecosystems worldwide, the need to accelerate the transition to net-zero carbon emissions has never been more urgent. We mobilise the workforce that helps make that ambition a reality. On behalf of the Board, we are delighted to be partnering with Key as we enter the next stage of our growth. Their understanding of our business model, alignment with our ambitions and strong cultural fit with our team were all important considerations in choosing them as our investment partner.”
