OE Electrices Makes ESG a Priority

OE Electrics, the Wakefield-headquartered, multi award-winning manufacturer of innovative data distribution and power solutions, has just published its first ESG (Environment, Social Governance) report.

All aspects of the ESG report are essential to the success of the business, but also represent a turning point in how we design, manufacture and generally work as a business. The Environment and sustainability are essential for the success of the planet and everyone needs to get on board.

David Masters, Group Chairman of OE Electrics, said: “It’s essential we look after the environment and our people for the good of the business and the planet.

“This report demonstrates the effort we are already putting into improving how we work as a business and our roadmap to carbon net zero. As a manufacturer, it’s not going to be an easy journey, but we know as a significant local employer and global manufacturer of innovative technologies we can make an impact and lead the way in sustainable manufacturing”.

From the beginning OE products have been designed and built with the idea of reuse. The majority of our products, built in our UK factory in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, or in Sydney, Australia, are made up of modular components to ensure OE can accommodate everyone of their customers’ needs. The manner in which our products are installed, with their unique plug and play system, means they can be disconnected and reconnected with ease, mounted and dismounted with minimum effort to ensure their usefulness remains despite the inevitable office change around. The modularity allows OE to supply the entire world with each country’s respective power outlet without wasteful unit redesigns and limited lifespan. OE can design new and innovative products but use the same components saving precious materials and reducing our potential carbon emissions.
