Planet: Sustainability at the Forefront
Going green isn’t an afterthought for 6 Group; it’s a core commitment. They’re trailblazers in sustainability, going beyond the typical ‘plant a tree’ approach. For every search they conduct, they purchase two tonnes of full carbon removal credits, certified by the rigorous VERA and ICROA standards. This means they’re actively supporting cutting-edge carbon removal technologies, making a real, measurable difference in the fight against climate change. It’s a bold move that sets a new standard in the executive search industry.

The Story Behind 6 Group Ltd
James Beazley, the Managing Director, founded 6 Group nearly two decades ago after his stint as Head of Experienced Resourcing for EMEAR at Shell. Frustrated by the lack of truly collaborative and impactful search firms, he set out to create something different. The company was born from two simple but powerful principles: Go Beyond and Partnering. Today, 6 Group stands as one of the most innovative firms worldwide, known for its modern approach and genuine partnerships that deliver remarkable outcomes across continents.
