A renewable energy company is offering the same parental leave package to mothers and fathers.
Pure Planet announced all its staff will be able to take 52 weeks of parental leave.
An app-based renewables firm, Pure Planet claims to be a sustainable for-profit company.
Rich Roberts, of the Bath-based company, said: “We’re treating parents equally – not only do new fathers get a much fairer deal, every parent does.
“We believe we are the first energy supplier in Britain to have an equal parental leave policy regardless of gender, sexual orientation or how they become a parent.”
Steven Day, co-founder of Pure Planet, said: “Genuinely treating people equally is fundamental.”
