Sustainability policy objective:

OESC strives to build a financially successful and enduring business in a manner that enhances the Club’s standing in the community and does not compromise the natural environment for future generations.

Sustainability goals:

• To conduct a full audit of OESC operations during 2011 to identify energy, water and waste saving opportunities and establish reduction targets.
• To engage staff and members in programs that will facilitate the achievement of these goals to reduce consumption and associated costs.
• To support and promote a culture of responsible gambling and alcohol consumption in line with industry best practice.
• To be an ‘employer of choice’ in the Central West through the provision of a safe, satisfying and supportive work environment and culture.

• To continue to be a ‘good corporate citizen’ by providing support to key groups within the community.

How will we achieve some of our objectives?

• We are an active member of the NSW Government DECCW Sustainability Advantage program.
• Engagement of environmental and engineering specialists to provide technical advice and audits.
• Providing staff with flexible working agreements, training and career growth opportunities.

• Supporting key community groups and schools in the form of donations, sponsorship, facility provision and continuation of the donation of excess consumable food through the Food Recovery Program.

Examples of a few initiatives undertaken:

• Reduction in globe wattage & installation of motion sensor lighting.
• Retrofit of water saving showerheads and fitting of aerators in taps.

• Country Club – 7 mega litres of stormwater harvested from the new Orange hospital site, with the remainder flowing into the Council stormwater system.
• Planting of drought tolerant grasses and plants.
• Installation of natural gas boilers.
• Life management, engagement & service workshops for all employees.
• Employee Rewards program.
