Ozaccom+ seriously considers its corporate responsibilities to the environment and the wider community.

Corporate Responsibility

The Ozaccom+ team are active in their communities and over the years have assisted in a number of programs and charities, for example:

• Donated clothing valued at more than $3000 to the Victorian Bushfire Appeal in 2009
• Provide View (Smith Family) with in-kind conference services
• Lent practical support to the Starlight Foundation by providing office space rent-free for two years.

Environment

At Ozaccom+, we think ‘green’ and tread lightly. Our staff, business partners and clients do too! We are committed to measures designed to reduce our carbon footprint. We encourage our staff and business partners to tread lightly too. In fact, we insist on it! Ozaccom+ has put its corporate shoulder behind the global push for a cleaner, sustainable future.

We are committed to reducing our environmental footprint and that of our events, through sustainable design and carbon offsetting including:

• Replacing printed marketing and delegate materials with electronic alternatives
• Using suppliers, where possible, who demonstrate they have environmental programmes/services in place for energy and water-saving, effective waste management, and eliminating hazardous waste
• Reducing carbon emissions by using local suppliers, talent and products, whenever possible
• Encouraging our clients to adopt a carbon offset programme when their event involves extensive travel
• Using printing companies committed to sustainability through the use of waterless printing, vegetable-based inks and recycled paper
• Using electronic signage and wherever possible, producing generic printed signs that can be reused
• Reducing food miles by basing menus on fresh, seasonal and local produce
• Using low-energy lighting in exhibitions and reusable materials for stands
• Ensuring the event satchel is essential and will be used again by delegates, as well as selecting satchels made of environmentally friendly material
• Minimising packaging waste
