At VisionGreen, we recognise that investing in people is key to building a high-performing, motivated team. Rachel McKeogh, a Climate and Environmental Sustainability student at Dublin City University, joined us in 2024 for a nine-month internship to gain hands-on experience in sustainability consulting. Rachel’s internship has been diverse and dynamic, reflecting the broad scope of work at VisionGreen.
From carbon accounting to business strategy, marketing, and client engagement, she has embraced every challenge with adaptability and professionalism. Despite her initial reservations about data-driven work, she discovered a passion for carbon accounting, demonstrating the value of learning beyond one’s comfort zone. One of the standout aspects of Rachel’s experience has been VisionGreen’s inclusive and open culture.
“From day one, I felt like I was such a part of the team, and there’s not one person in the company that I wouldn’t feel comfortable going to and asking for advice or questions. Everyone has taught me so much.” She also credits the company’s small, agile structure with helping her develop a strategic mindset. “Seeing everything through a specific type of lens that you can only see within a small and agile business has been the biggest learning for me, how to adapt depending on the client and the situation.” Rachel’s experience underscores our commitment to fostering an environment where all employees, regardless of seniority, are empowered to share insights, develop new skills, and shape the company’s future.
Her time with us is a testament to how VisionGreen prioritises professional growth, employee engagement, and a culture of collaboration. As we continue to build a resilient and innovative team, we remain dedicated to nurturing talent, equipping employees with essential skills, and providing meaningful opportunities for career development. As we move forward, our 2025 strategy prioritises building a fearless, high-performing team that drives impact through adaptability and collaboration. This means creating an environment where continuous feedback, leadership development, and professional growth are embedded into daily operations. Our commitment to fostering a high-performing, adaptable team is not just about internal development, it ensures that we continue delivering the highest quality service to our clients and remain leaders in sustainable business solutions.
