ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL &
GOVERNANCE
“We’ve based our ESG strategy on a simple idea, that we’re people you can rely to do the right thing. The last 18 months has been very challenging for everyone; all the more reason for OSP Group to continue focus absolutely on being people our friends in the industry and the community can rely on.”
OSP Group provides specialist recruitment for our selected industry sectors. Our existence and development are due to the quality and reliability of the people we place at our clients’ operations.
For us there are five streams: our natural environment, our team, the industries we serve, our local communities, and of course the manner in which we run our business.
We recognise that this is a journey and we strive to do better. So we will be providing updates on a quarterly basis.
If we continue to give our clients what they want – the right people at the right time – we plan to continue to perform better and better across our five streams.
