OCS Indonesia has brought an important facilities management perspective to a national business audience through CNBC Indonesia’s PROFIT programme, addressing human rights due diligence directly.
President and Managing Director Yohanes Jeffry Johary joined the programme to discuss Human Rights Due Diligence. He explained how organisations can translate responsible business commitments into everyday operational practice. The programme presented the conversation across two segments, exploring businesses that respect human rights and the implementation of due diligence from policy through to practice.
The feature reflects the growing relevance of facilities management in discussions that extend beyond the performance of individual services. In fact, FM teams work where corporate policies are put into practice, supporting workplaces in which people, suppliers and service partners operate together every day.
As a result, the industry gains a valuable perspective on how decisions made at an organisational level affect people on the ground.

Bringing an operational perspective to the conversation
Modern workplaces rarely depend on one organisation alone. Instead, factories, hospitals, data centres, offices and logistics facilities operate through connected networks of service providers, specialists and suppliers. Each plays a part in maintaining the workplace. Together, they shape the experience of the people working within it.
During the discussion, Yohanes Jeffry Johary highlighted the responsibility that comes with being part of a customer’s supply chain. For this reason, responsible delivery requires organisations to consider how employment, supervision, working hours, safety, training, procurement and the treatment of colleagues are managed across daily operations.
Consequently, this places FM close to the point where commitments become actions.
Facilities management providers can contribute operational visibility. They can also identify potential concerns early, and bring practical experience into conversations that may otherwise remain at policy level. Ultimately, their role connects organisational expectations with the realities of how workplaces are managed.
“This places FM close to the point where commitments become actions.”

Responsibility across the supply chain in human rights due diligence
No single organisation can deliver Human Rights Due Diligence on its own.
Customers need operating models that support responsible work. Meanwhile, service providers must meet labour and human rights standards while delivering effectively. Suppliers and subcontractors need clear expectations and accountability, while workers need safe and trusted ways to raise concerns.
Because of this, progress depends on shared responsibility across the supply chain.
For FM providers, this means recognising that service delivery connects to the wider conditions in which people work. It also means using the industry’s position across workplaces and supply networks to support greater transparency and stronger operational practices.
Elevating the FM perspective
The appearance on CNBC Indonesia gave OCS Indonesia an opportunity to contribute an FM perspective to a wider discussion about human rights and responsible business.
It also demonstrated why operational expertise belongs in these conversations.
Companies set policies at corporate level, but thousands of everyday decisions at worksites determine their impact. FM teams see how those decisions affect people, places and supply chains. As a result, that experience can help customers better understand workplace conditions and identify where improvement is needed.
By taking this discussion to a national business platform, OCS Indonesia helped bring greater attention to the role facilities management can play in turning responsible business commitments into consistent workplace practice.
The full conversation is available through two CNBC Indonesia segments covering facilities management and businesses that respect human rights, followed by the practical implementation of Human Rights Due Diligence.
Watch the two discussions:
Segment 1: Facility Management and Human Rights-Respecting Businesses
Segment 2: From Policy to Practice: Implementing Human Rights Due Diligence
