Ocuco's Corporate Social Responsibility: Caring for People and the Planet

Approach

The people behind Ocuco bring their interests, values and passions to work. This shapes Ocuco’s philosophy; we believe that all people should have access to vision. We believe that technological innovation and good business are the means to secure this right for every human being. At Ocuco, we are committed to being resolutely philanthropic and socially responsible in our decisions.

Community

Ocuco invites high school students to complete their gap year with our company and gain work experience with a real-world software development firm, preparing them for the working world. In addition, Ocuco is committed to investing and partnering with educational institutions such as Technological University Dublin (TUD).

Giving Back

Ocuco partners and sponsors several non-profit sight-saving organizations annually across the globe. We do this through cash grants, sponsorships, and workplace giving. Some organizations we support include Optometry Giving Sight, Sightsavers, NCBI, Camara and Fighting Blindness.

Sustainability

Ocuco’s software is designed to allow optical practices to drastically reduce their dependence on paper through electronic patient records and communications. Equally, Ocuco’s offices strongly promote a paperless office practice. In addition, and in the first step of a global sustainability program, Ocuco now neutralizes the carbon emissions of its Dublin headquarters by working closely with GoCarbonNeutral.ie. As a result, every year we offset 2,320 tonnes of CO₂ by reforesting almost 15 acres of native woodland in Wicklow, Ireland.
