Doing business in the right way / Sustainability (ESG) Strategy / 2024 / Page 14
Our social
commitments and actions:
We will continue to grow our
participation in programmes,
from local unemployment projects
to Government initiatives, that
successfully support people into
work placements and sustainable
careers with OCS. We will pilot new
approaches, learning what works
and continually refreshing our
recruitment strategies accordingly.
Recruit from the widest possible
talent pool and breakdown
barriers to opportunities
By offering ongoing training and
support, we can provide long-lasting
careers – not just jobs – both in our
own offices and across our
customer sites.
We are already increasing our
investment in learning and
development pathways, such as
apprenticeships and scholarships,
and continually look to hire potential
talent from underrepresented
groups. We believe every person
should have the chance to realise
their full potential.
Provide access to valuable
careers for all as an employer
of 120,000
Our colleagues truly reflect the
global nature of our business,
representing over 130 different
nationalities, and we follow inclusive
recruitment processes. Our
Code of Conduct drives an open
respectful and transparent culture
and we have a zero-tolerance
to discrimination or unethical
behaviour. To further build a
diverse and inclusive culture,
we will continue to expand our
investment in wellbeing, mental
health support, and diversity and
equality training programmes.
Foster and invest in a
diverse and inclusive culture
By securing products and services
from small businesses and local
community enterprises where
possible and working with our
supply partners to add social and
economic value far beyond our
own direct employment.
Meaningfully support the
communities we work in
through our supply chain
