OCO Global is built on a single mission: the determination to make a difference by challenging ourselves to do better and be creative in how we do it. This underpins everything we do and it’s why our ESG commitments are so deeply embedded and effective.
A positive influence
As participants of the United Nations Global Compact Corporate Responsibility Initiative, we’re committed to its principles in the areas on human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption. With clients including governments, trade and investment agencies and companies globally, we’re uniquely positioned to drive the corporate sustainability agenda not just internally but in the economic development space.
ESG in our offices
We have a Sustainability Officer in each of our offices, charged with reducing our carbon footprint and ensuring sustainable practices internally and with our partners and clients.
We believe in providing good and flexible working conditions for all our employees, and promoting positive mental health and wellbeing practices.
Empowering our people
We believe in fairness and transparency, offering clear career paths and guidance to all our employees, company wide. We offer internal mentoring programs and career development training, investing in our staff to help them stay at the top of their game.
In 2019, we launched the OCO Global Women’s Network, established to create a community for exchange, capacity building and mentoring with a focus on gender equality. The network is designed to create stronger links for female employees, offer peer support, create a platform to share experiences and to develop a mentoring scheme for career progression.
