Environment Impact
Energy Usage
We aim to maximise energy conservation through adoption of best practices. Where practicable, computerised heating, lighting and ventilation controls are installed in buildings.Recycling & Waste Management
We are committed to recycling of materials where possible and where the means to recycle materials exist. This includes the recycling of cash bags, uniforms, toner cartridges, paper and paper-based products.| The group has an international fleet of cash carrying vehicles, which are equipped with a variety of unique security measures, making them difficult to reuse in other areas once their life cycle has been completed. However, G4S Cash Services (UK) donates expired vehicles to an organisation which make use of any spare parts and then recycle the remaining shell of the vehicle for future industrial use. |
Use of environmentally friendly products
The group complies with the relevant standards on vehicle emissions and encourages business units to use diesel or unleaded petrol to fuel vehicles.Fuel conservation is achieved through enhanced vehicle design and regular maintenance to ensure appropriate levels of health and safety and to minimise any impact on the environment through inefficient fuel management and emissions.
Paper Products
Where possible, the group makes use of environmentally friendly products and services. At the group level, any major printing projects such as the annual report and accounts, interim reports and customer magazines are all printed on paper which is produced in accordance with ISO 14000 environmental certification and is elementary chlorine free.Business units throughout the organisation are encouraged to consider the use of environmentally friendly products where possible.
