Sustainability at Original
Better decisions.
Lasting value.
Sustainability shapes how we run Original and how we design, deliver and support your technology.
From our operations to your outcomes
How Original operates
Built into the work.
From the beginning.
B Corp and UN Global Compact commitments inform our business decisions. Zellar supports measurement and action; our environmental management system provides a structure for improvement.
GPM P5 · Our working framework
A wider view of every decision.
We weave GPM’s P5 framework through Original’s operations and services. It brings people, planet and prosperity into the decisions we make about what we deliver and how we deliver it.
For a technology project, that means considering resource use, equipment life and the people affected alongside scope, cost and quality.
