Planet: Protecting our planet’s natural resources
Climate and energy
As a leading FM business, we have a duty to manage energy and
emissions – for OCS, customers and suppliers.
Some of our key supporting actions and programmes:
• Energy reduction – including renewable electricity procurement,
EV charging at our HQ and solar PV at several OCS sites.
• Fleet EV strategy – introducing an EV salary sacrifice scheme and
home EV charging proposition.
• Supplier engagement – working with suppliers to reduce emissions
associated with products, services and logistics.
• Data and reporting improvements – external validation of our
emissions and targets, SBTi alignment and TCFD risk assessment.
Waste and resources
Providing FM services to our customers requires resources ranging
from mops to raw foods. OCS and customers can help reduce waste
and utilities such resources more efficiently, by doing so, there can be
positive environmental and commercial benefits.
Some of our key supporting actions and programmes:
• Partnership approach – working with suppliers to implement
solutions and products which use less raw materials, re-using or
repurposing where possible.
• Waste policy – ensuring we follow the waste hierarchy and circular
economy principles.
• Resource management – looking at innovative ways to reduce waste
and resources – for example, our uniform recycling scheme.
• Training – developing and rolling out waste management and
awareness courses for all colleagues.
