ECOMING A SUSTAINABLE business takes

B time and effort to get it right . There are a lot of different aspects to think about , which can seem overwhelming . But there is no doubt that companies need to address their impact on the planet , not only for everyone ’ s future , but because consumers are increasingly turning to environmentally friendly companies . An SME called Earthly , which features on the front of this magazine , is on a mission to help businesses become more sustainable , invest in nature , reduce their climate impact and mitigate their carbon emissions .

CEO and Co-founder of Earthly , Oliver Bolton , told Intelligent SME . tech how the company has worked with Remote , a world leader in providing global HR solutions . Partnering with Remote meant that Earthly could recruit talented workers anywhere in the world without getting involved in the logistics or costs of setting up its own entities .
