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.
