ESG
At OCU, we are dedicated to having a positive impact on the communities we serve and the wider world around us.
Our comprehensive engineering and service capabilities are essential for addressing resource scarcity and enhancing energy efficiency.
Through our work on renewables projects – battery energy storage, EV charger installation, wind farms and hydro – we are helping lead the UK’s energy transition. From leading engineering design to the adoption of sustainable materials, we are constantly striving to minimise the environmental impact of the work we undertake.
