OCS TRUE Values

Our values are Trust, Respect, Unity and Empowerment – they’re TRUE. Guided by these values and principles, we’re on a mission to make people and places the best they can be.

Our guiding principles

Having easily understandable and universally applicable values is crucial because they are a foundational guide for decision-making – providing a clear framework for all colleagues, ensuring consistency and alignment with the company’s goals across diverse teams and geographies.

Our TRUE Values are a vital navigational tool for OCS, steering our actions and strategies as we work towards our vision and mission. They help create a unified culture, fostering a sense of purpose and direction among colleagues and ensuring that every decision aligns with our core principles. 

Inspired by our TRUE Values, we’ve developed a set of commitments we all sign up for when joining OCS. Alongside those values, this alignment is essential for maintaining our brand’s integrity and achieving our long-term objectives.
