We know we must change the way we operate to help reduce our environmental and social impacts. Setting ambitious goals to reduce and offset our carbon emissions by 2030 is a part of this commitment. For starters - all our company vehicles are now electric with eight car charging stations at our head office. The charging stations and the entire office is powered by an impressive 150 solar PV modules installed across the roof. Not only are we proud to be producing our own energy, we are also recycling our waste including food, paper and plastic.
At OCL, Environment, Social, Governance "ESG" is more than ticking boxes. It's about making a difference.
Our ESG principles are driven by a strong strategic foundation:
We create sustain outcomes that drive value and fuel growth, whilst strengthening our environment and societies.
We are committed to minimising the impact of our operations on the communities we work within. We actively invest in advanced site-monitoring technology; including Dust Canaries, Acoustic Tents, and Armour-Guard Cutting Stations to significantly reduce both noise and dust pollution. These systems enable us to closely track site activity, implement rapid mitigation measures, and ultimately improve the air quality and overall living environment for local residents. Our goal is to ensure that every project is delivered responsibly, sustainably, and with respect for the people who live and work nearby.
Our commitment to environmental responsibility doesn’t stop at our project sites. We’re proud to be preparing for an exciting new partnership with a UK-based environmental charity, focused on expanding tree-planting initiatives and creating vital nature reserves and woodlands across the country. This collaboration will allow us to contribute directly to restoring natural habitats, boosting biodiversity, and supporting long-term carbon reduction efforts. By investing in these green spaces, we aim to leave a positive legacy that extends far beyond the built environment - helping to protect our planet and enrich communities for generations to come.
