Fossil Free Careers is a bold initiative by People & Planet, the UK’s largest student-led campaigning network, urging universities to sever recruitment ties with the extractive industries—namely oil, gas, and mining. It’s about aligning the recruitment practices of university careers services with the urgent need for climate justice. University careers services often provide a steady pipeline of talent into some of the most destructive industries fueling climate breakdown. The campaign exposes and challenges that complicity.
Learn about our core demands:
-
Refuse any new recruitment relationships with oil, gas, and mining companies.
-
Not renew existing contracts beyond their contractual period.
-
Adopt an Ethical Careers Policy that publicly commits to excluding extractive industries from recruitment activities.
Join us in Chancellors Building 3.10 on Thursday 25th September at 16.00 to learn more about what we have planned for the upcoming year and why it is important to campaign for an ethical careers policy.
