Rigorous Screening Driving up Standards

Rigorous pre- and post-employment screening practises are embedded throughout our businesses. G4S continues to work with many governments and industry bodies to drive up standards.

Representing our Employees

Across G4S, we engage in genuine and active dialogue with a wide range of social partners, and have over 70 formal relationships currently in place with trade unions around the world. We work hand in hand with these trade unions and employee representatives to positively influence the security sector, as well as working together on employee relations programmes.

Stringent Health and Safety policy

The group has a published Health and Safety policy which acts as a minimum standard for all subsidiary companies throughout the world. In adopting these standards, we seek to create a workplace which enables staff to feel safe and secure and where management takes a proactive interest in staff welfare.

Highest levels of Business Ethics

G4S is committed to operating to the highest levels of business ethics throughout its operations. Our Business Ethics Policy is communicated to each manager, who must then individually declare their personal commitment and compliance within their own area of responsibility.
