About  

Clean Air Fund is a global philanthropic organisation that works with governments, campaigners, researchers, funders and businesses to create a world where everyone breathes clean air. This mission thrives thanks to the support of its funders, including Bloomberg Philanthropies and the IKEA Foundation.  

Working in partnership with organisations across the globe, the Clean Air Fund promotes air quality data, builds public demand for clean air and drives action to secure clean air for everyone.  

Challenge  

Clean Air Fund faced a significant HR challenge due to their organisation's size and plan to develop a global team. They urgently needed to set up operations in several countries, including South Africa, Ghana, Kenya, and Belgium. However, the conventional solution of establishing their own entities in each new country was cost ineffective and time consuming.  

The need for a rapid solution and efficient resource allocation drove Clean Air Fund to explore Employer of Record (EOR) options. Ultimately, Atlas was chosen for its global reach,  commitment to service quality and also due to a strong endorsement from a trusted fellow NGO. 

“Due to the size of our organization and the increasing global scale of what we did, we needed to have a presence in multiple countries quite quickly. The time and cost-benefit of setting up in those countries by ourselves didn’t make sense.” 

“Atlas’ reputation in the market was a big driver. An NGO we trusted recommended Atlas’ services whilst considering other providers in the run-up to our decision. That, as well as the breadth of countries Atlas covers was a key factor.”
