In arriving at our net zero carbon
target, we have undertaken deeply
thoughtful work on our operational
emissions which is grounded in the
practical aspects of what we do.
Our carbon strategy is scientifically
backed and is designed to facilitate
a sustainable future and relies on
all of us making mindful choices
each day to help achieve net zero
by 2040.
Our net zero targets and
milestones are set against a 2023
baseline, following the merger with
Atalian Servest.
• 100% renewable energy (Scope 2) in our UK,
IE, ANZ offices by 2025.
• 100% electric or hybrid vehicles across our
global business by 2034.
• 70% reduction in our Scope 1 emissions by
2030, across our UK, IE, ANZ businesses.
• OCS commits those suppliers in the UK, Ireland,
Australia, and New Zealand, representing 76%
of its scope 3 emissions from purchased goods,
services, and capital goods, will set SBTs by 2030.
• All OCS companies commit to net zero for
Scope 1 & 2 by 2040.
Commitment to several key
milestones on our way to our
net zero targets:
OCS UK & I business have developed a Carbon Impact
Assessment tool. Developed by the ESG team, this tool
can be used to accurately calculate carbon emissions
for our customers. It considers factors like fuel usage,
plastic and paper consumables, and business travel.
The process has been externally verified to meet the
ISO 14064 Part 1 standard and Greenhouse Gas Protocol
requirements, and it helps OCS, and our customers
make informed decisions and reduce carbon emissions.
