Family Leave Policy
Our Family Leave Policy is designed to provide a supportive working environment for parents and advance equity, diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
Opportunity Green was established to fight the climate crisis, which is also largely about climate justice. Climate issues are intertwined with equity, making it difficult to tackle one without also doing whatever is possible to tackle the other.
We want to provide a supportive working environment for parents, while doing our bit to tackle the gender pay gap, so our Family Leave Policy is designed to support new parents, families and those with other care responsibilities well.
Our Family Leave Policy applies equally whether you are a soon-to-be parent of a biological, surrogate or adopted child, and whether this is your first child, or you are adding to your family. We support our colleagues before, during and after parental leave to help them transition into parenthood as smoothly as possible, including flexible working.
We offer enhanced parental pay and leave to the birth / main adoptive or surrogate parent as well as their partner. Enhanced leave and pay for other types of family-related leave is also provided as we recognise that care responsibilities don’t end there, and there are other ways our team might be caring for loved-ones that require our support. You can download our policy in full below.
As Opportunity Green grows, we commit to keeping this policy under review with a view to providing the best support we are able within our means and resources.
