Value Beyond Numbers

Environmental

At Opteon, we’re deeply committed to minimising our impact on the environment, despite the relatively small footprint of our operations.

• We’ve transitioned to digital record-keeping to reduce paper usage
• We’re sourcing sustainable products, and we’ve implemented comprehensive recycling programs within our offices.
• We've embraced sustainable practices across lighting, heating, and cooling systems to lessen our operational impact.
• We optimise travel routes for our inspection workforce to lower our carbon emissions, and our almost entirely remote workforce sees these emissions lowered even further by eliminating unnecessary commutes.

Our efforts are aligned with global environmental goals, including supporting our clients in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in line with ambitious 2030 targets.

Our provision of accurate, high-quality data on property energy efficiency is our biggest value-add for our partners and customers – helping to manage and identify sustainability risks and ensure compliance with ESG reporting requirements.

Social

At Opteon, we believe diverse teams make the best teams. As a global company of 890+ employees, we are proud to share that 40% of leadership positions in Opteon are held by women. We have a strong diversity culture and employ team members across various nationalities and ethnic backgrounds. We have a strong culture around equal opportunity and non-discrimination, and are committed to promoting diversity within our industry through partnerships, programs, targets, policies and strategy:

• Cultural awareness and unconscious bias training.
• Māori and Indigenous Australian recruitment strategies.
• Our annual calendar celebrating cultural holidays and significant events.
• Creating employment opportunities via traineeship programs.

We create a safe workplace by putting safety first, and encouraging our people to meet their wellness needs.

Governance

Our approach to governance is reflective of our values: acting with integrity, striving for excellence, and being connected, ensuring we not only comply with regulatory requirements but also serve as a trusted partner and employer.

Opteon is steadfast in operating ethically and responsibly, creating a safe environment for all, fulfilling all regulatory obligations, maintaining robust risk management practices, and fostering a culture of ethical behaviour and integrity.
