Job board Seek’s Australian operations is set to be 100% powered by renewable energy in a new partnership with ZEN Energy.

From July 2024, the partnership will see Seek’s domestic operations supplied by renewable energy from three wind farms in regional Victoria.

Seek also committed to purchase further renewable energy certificates each year, which will contribute to reducing its energy emissions across its international operations in New Zealand, Asia and Latin America.

The renewable energy certificates, which are traceable under Australia’s renewable energy target program and overseen by the Australian government’s clean energy regulator, support Seek’s Climate Active certification and goal of achieving net zero emissions.

“Seek’s target is to achieve net zero across all emissions scopes by 2030. We are also committed to 40% emissions reduction across all scopes by 2025. Partnering with ZEN Energy to transition to renewable energy across our office operations will be a significant step towards achieving these goals” said Kate Koch, Seek’s Chief Financial Officer.

As a result of switching to 100% renewable energy and purchasing renewable energy certificates, Seek is supporting Australia’s transformation to a net-zero economy and will be reducing its carbon impact by approximately 1,000 tonnes of CO2e annually, the company stated.

In addition to Seek’s commitment across their office operations, Cremorne Properties, landlord of Seek’s global headquarters in Melbourne, has also committed to 100% renewable electricity for the base building from July 2024.

“Australia’s success in the energy transition is underpinned by the actions that we all can take. To have a company like Seek take steps in Australia to create change is inspiring.” said Anthony Garnaut, CEO ZEN Energy.

Supply of the renewable energy will commence with ZEN Energy from July 2024.

Last week the company reported H1 revenue from continuing operations fell by 6% on a constant currency basis and lowered its full year guidance.
