Since joining the Framework Standard for Responsible Sourcing (BES 6001) in 2021, O.C.O Technology has achieved an EXCELLENT rating every year, and 2025 is no exception. This marks our fifth EXCELLENT rating in a row and another year of outstanding performance and commitment to sustainability.

Achieving this result under the latest version of the BES 6001 standard shows how consistently O.C.O meets the tough requirements of independent, third-party verification for responsible sourcing. From the very beginning, we’ve worked hard to ensure our operations minimise environmental impact and help protect natural resources.

This certification also highlights the importance of collaboration across the supply chain in helping the construction industry reach its carbon reduction and wider environmental goals. Our innovative ML-S products continue to support this progress, offering practical solutions for more sustainable construction.

Continuing to perform at this level not only reflects O.C.O’s commitment to responsible business practices but also brings real value to our customers and partners.

Wretham Site Manager, Paul Barber, added:

‘Through our continued commitment as a responsible, considerate business, it is a great achievement and one that cements our position through the BREEAM recognised, BRE Global Framework Standard for Responsible Sourcing BES6001. Maintaining the EXCELLENT status is a position we are proud to hold as one of only two aggregate suppliers achieving this level!

All areas, throughout the business, contribute to our certification assessment. We continue to offer a unique, carbon friendly aggregate solution – details of which can be found on the approved environmental products and services GreenBookLive Database and http://www.oco.co.uk. GreenBookLive is a free to use online database designed to help specifiers and end users identify products and services that can help to reduce their impact on the environment.’
