Despite the distractions of the COVID-19 pandemic, flooding, global uncertainty, and labour constraints, OCS Australia has gone from strength to strength, taking steps towards creating a better future for generations to come.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The initiatives and partnerships we have committed to are shared in our 2022 OCS Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) Sustainability Report.<\/p>\n

OCS ANZ Managing Director, Gareth Marriott, says having a sound sustainability framework is more valuable than ever.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur framework puts our people, customers, and communities at the centre of all that we do. Alongside providing exceptional facilities management services, we aim to make a positive social and environmental impact every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gareth says one thing that has stood out for him in 2022 is the focus on partnerships.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have really focused on partnering with our customers, industry experts and supply partners to achieve our respective climate action and sustainability goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have seen a rise in innovative and collaborative solutions to everyday problems and increased opportunities for our team members to take on new responsibilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re also proud to partner with Toit\u016b Envirocare, and in New Zealand, the Sustainable Business Council and the Climate Leader Coalition \u2013 all three help our Australian business to also stay abreast of current challenges and opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carbon reduction has been under the microscope for OCS in 2022, and we enlisted Toit\u016b Envirocare to help us generate new science-based carbon reduction targets.<\/p>\n

\u201cClimate change presents environmental, social, and economic crises on a whole new level. For nearly two millennia, humans have been carbonising the planet, and we must act to decarbonise.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the last 50 years climate-induced weather events, such as droughts, fires and floods, have cost Australian communities an estimated $120 billion. And that doesn\u2019t reflect the human cost. Setting new science-based targets is a step in the right direction, however it\u2019s a small drop in what\u2019s required globally \u2013 we need to all work together now if we are to effect real change.\u201d<\/p>\n

OCS is also proud to have achieved, for the third year, Toit\u016b net carbonzero certification in line with ISO14064-1, reflecting our commitment to leaving our planet in a better state for future generations.<\/p>\n

With a diverse team of over 4,000 people, made up of 89 cultures, OCS ANZ is making a conscious effort to ensure our operations are environmentally responsible and have a positive impact on the communities we serve.<\/p>\n
