Labor standards

Océ provides a safe and proper workplace. This applies to the company’s own employees but, because of the nature of the products, it applies just as much to customers’ employees who operate Océ machines. Intrinsic product safety is an important element in the lengthy list of requirements that Océ sets for its products, right from the very first design stage. Océ machines are designed to deliver constantly optimum performances in the hands of those who operate them. Océ machines regularly receive awards for their ergonomic design and ease of use. Together with important aspects such as reliability and productivity, this ensures that Océ machines are highly rated by their direct users. Océ products are suitable for a broad group of users, including those with special accessibility requirements. Océ products comply fully with the criteria set in the US Government’s Section 508 Accessibility Standards. Océ provides equal opportunities for all employees and makes clear agreements on working hours and salary. Through training and education, Océ ensures that employees are able to develop themselves and can play their part in achieving the company’s strategic objectives. Océ is an advocate of open communication with employees, for example through the European Works Council. Océ does not tolerate forced labor or child labor, also not on the part of its suppliers.
