Designed with the vision of making modern workplaces more compliant, inclusive, and growth-oriented, OPC 5 bridges the gap between compliance and company culture. It provides a clear structure for organizations to measure, enhance, and be recognized for their internal environment and employee-centric policies.

Why OPC 5 Matters?

In today’s competitive and evolving work landscape, companies are expected to offer more than just salaries and job titles. Employees—and stakeholders—demand a transparent, ethical, inclusive, and growth-focused environment.

OPC 5 helps organizations:

Benchmark internal practices against national labor laws and international workplace standards.
Foster employee trust and satisfaction through verified compliance with good governance and ethical practices.
Align HR policies with strategic growth, wellbeing, and long-term sustainability.
Attract top talent by demonstrating commitment to workplace excellence.
