At oOh! we have increased our investment and commitment to sustainability with the creation of an Environmental and Social Governance (ESG) team to drive our sustainability program and embed it throughout our business operations and company culture. Our ESG program is an integral business priority linked to the long-term sustainable growth of the Company, while balancing the risk of the impacts of environmental and social concerns to the business, including climate change.

Our ESG Philosophy: Action over words, empowering every employee

Impact where it matters for our people

• Provide a healthy and supportive work environment for our people and provide the brand-safety for advertisers and partners

Our most recent ESG Actions and Achievements

 

 

Reconciliation

We have recently launched our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). Our initial RAP will lay the foundations of our company’s commitment to listening and learning, and in turn, gives us an even greater understanding and awareness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

oOh!’s RAP has been endorsed by Reconciliation Australia and was created in consultation with Two Point Co, a 100% Indigenous-owned consultancy that provided education workshops for our board, executive leadership team and the RAP working group and guided the development of the RAP.

To mark the Reflect RAP, we commissioned emerging artist, GO Foundation alumni and Wiradjuri woman, Lua Pellegrini, to create a bespoke artwork reflecting our purpose to make public spaces better. oOh!’s commitment to connect people and environment is represented with the colours and segments representing the vibrancy and diversity of Country across Australia and New Zealand. The work includes six prominent concentric circles to reflect oOh!’s six offices across both countries, which are connected by beautiful waterways.

As Australia’s leader in Out of Home and through our partnerships with advertisers, governments and commercial property partners we have a unique opportunity to build sustainable, supportive and resilient communities and to strengthen the connection Australians have with First Nations cultures and promote respect, trust, and positive relationships.

 

Our RAP commits to a range of actions and deliverables designed to strengthens awareness of and relationships with Australia’s First Nations people and drive meaningful reconciliation action across the entire oOh! business.
