G4S Employees' Trust

The welfare of employees is of paramount importance to G4S and we aim to ensure that employees are supported through difficult times.
To help provide this support, the G4S Employees' Trust, is able to provide financial assistance, at the discretion of the fund’s trustees, to employees and former employees in need of urgent financial assistance.

-  In Indonesia, the fund paid to re-build homes of a number of employees which were demolished by an earthquake

-  In the Democratic Republic of Congo, after an employee was killed during a riot, the fund helped to support his family by paying them two years’ salary

-  In the UK, following a serious injury to an employee during service, the fund provided him with financial assistance to cover his recuperation and recovery

-  In Canada, the fund has granted a sum of money to support an employee who is sole carer for a family member with a terminal illness

-  As a result of post-election violence in Kenya, over 60 employees were left without homes.  G4S provided a programme of support and assistance to those involved including counselling those suffering from post-traumatic stress and financial assistance to those rebuilding their homes.

During 2008, the Employees' Trust Fund made grants totalling over £250,000 to over 130 employees who had suffered particular financial hardship, 80% of these employees were based in our new markets businesses.
