ESG Impact Report: Charting a Course for Sustainable Future - OCS

OCS Unveils Inaugural ESG Impact Report: Charting a Course for Sustainable Future.

OCS, one of the world's largest international facilities service providers, has marked the UK's official Net Zero Week by releasing its first Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Impact Report. This landmark publication underscores OCS's commitment to transparency, accountability, and positive environmental and social impact.

The report offers a comprehensive overview of OCS's sustainability efforts over the past year, inviting stakeholders to explore the company's dedication to protecting our planet. This release comes at a pivotal moment for OCS, following its recent merger with Atalian Servest's operations in the UK, Ireland, and Asia, which has significantly expanded its global footprint.

Key Highlights from the Report:

Ambitious Net Zero Goal

OCS has set a bold target to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions across all its UK and Ireland operations by 2040.

Strengthened ESG Leadership: The company has bolstered its ESG team for the UK and Ireland, tasking them with elevating sustainability initiatives to new heights.

Strategic Approach

In 2024, OCS conducted a materiality assessment to guide its ESG strategy, which is set to launch later this year. The company is carefully identifying the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) where it can make the most significant impact.

Holistic Vision

OCS is reshaping responsible management by focusing on making a difference socially, environmentally, and commercially, rather than solely on profit margins.

Jacky So, OCS UK & Ireland ESG Director, emphasised the significance of this report: "The OCS UK&I ESG Impact Report is the first step in our public sustainability reporting journey. Over the next few years, we will ramp up our efforts on ESG reporting as we continuously work on and improve our non-financial data measurement and performance monitoring. Transparent and robust reporting to all stakeholders is key to ensuring OCS is doing business in the right way."

This inaugural ESG Impact Report represents a crucial milestone in OCS's journey towards becoming a leader in sustainable facilities management. By setting ambitious goals, strengthening leadership, and adopting a strategic approach to ESG, OCS is positioning itself at the forefront of responsible business practices in its industry.

As the company continues to evolve its ESG culture and integrate sustainability into its corporate DNA, stakeholders can expect to see more detailed reporting and tangible progress in the coming years. This commitment to transparency and continuous improvement will be crucial as OCS works towards its 2040 net zero goal and broader sustainability objectives.
