OCS Indonesia and LEX Indonesia Launch VOCIFY Green Apprenticeship Programme to Build a More Sustainable Workforce

Driving ESG Progress Through Green Skills Development in Logistics

OCS Indonesia and LEX Indonesia, part of Lazada, have taken a significant step towards building a more sustainable and future-ready workforce with the launch of the VOCIFY Green Apprenticeship Programme. This industry-first initiative, designed to equip logistics professionals with practical green skills, officially began on 10 March at the LEX Indonesia warehouse facility in Cimanggis, West Java.

With sustainability and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards shaping the global economy, businesses are under increasing pressure to reduce environmental impact while investing in their people. Through this apprenticeship,

OCS Indonesia and LEX Indonesia ensure that frontline workers gain the expertise to navigate a rapidly changing industry while advancing sustainability efforts across logistics operations.

Strengthening ESG Commitments Across Global Markets

As a leading facilities management company, OCS has championed sustainability, skills development, and social mobility in its key markets, including the UK, Ireland, India, Thailand, Australia, and New Zealand.

• In the UK and Ireland, OCS has been recognised for its sustainability initiatives, which strongly focus on carbon reduction and waste management.
• In India and Thailand, OCS is actively driving social mobility through upskilling programmes that provide employees with pathways to leadership.
• The company has been at the forefront of ethical employment initiatives in Australia and New Zealand, ensuring workers are trained in green practices that align with evolving ESG regulations.

Now, with the VOCIFY Green Apprenticeship Programme, OCS Indonesia is reinforcing this commitment by ensuring that frontline logistics workers have the tools and training to drive long-term sustainable impact.

A Transformational Programme for the Logistics Industry

Senior leaders of both organisations participated in the launch event, including Yohanes Jeffry Johary, Managing Director of OCS Indonesia; Ricardo Purba, Chief Operational Officer; and Meindi Firmansyah, Human Resources Director.
