Responsible business practices

OPS believes responsible business practices include environmental responsibility.

E-publishing
We support electronic publishing because compared to printing it:
  • uses less paper
  • uses less energy
  • produces less waste
  • is a more sustainable business practice.

Paper

We believe that paper stocks should ideally:
  • come from managed forest
  • use a percentage of recycled material, and
  • be chlorine free in production.

Greening the supply chain
OPS is pleased to work with, and supply products and services to, organisations who:
  • screen suppliers for environmental performance
  • set purchasing standards to bar the purchase of products containing old growth wood or toxic substances like mercury
  • work collaboratively with suppliers on green design initiatives, and
  • are actively working to build suppliers' environmental management capacity.
