2040 Net Zero Target

Every OCS company in the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand commits to being net zero by 2040. We will do this by adopting a full-scope approach.

Our targets cover:

Scope 1: Direct emissions from the buildings and assets we own or lease.
Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased electricity, steam, heating and cooling systems.
Scope 3: Indirect emissions throughout our value chain, for example from our suppliers and customers.

Our Pathway to Net Zero

It is our ambition to achieve net zero ahead of target, where infrastructure and green resources allow. Our commitment is guided by science-based targets aligned with the Paris Agreement, ensuring our progress is resilient, innovative, and authentic.

To achieve our net zero targets, we have committed to several key milestones:

100% renewable electricity across offices in the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand by 2025.
100% electric or hybrid vehicle fleet across our global operations by 2034.
70% reduction in Scope 1 emissions by 2030 across the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.
76% of suppliers in the UK and Ireland to set science-based targets by 2030.

Protecting Our Planet’s Natural Resources

We are taking practical steps to reduce our environmental impact by:

Using innovative, biodegradable cleaning solutions and reducing chemical use.
Minimising waste and single-use plastics through better waste management and responsible procurement.
Partnering with customers, suppliers, governments, and NGOs to improve energy efficiency and develop effective sustainability strategies.
Embedding sustainable practices in everything we do.
