Business ethics

Print
The foundation of our policy for good corporate citizenship lies with our employees – we are well aware that the organisation’s future success is being driven by the performance of our employees. Our Business Ethics Policy is distributed to each manager on appointment: they must then make a declaration of their personal commitment to act in accordance with and uphold the standards in the policy. This policy seeks to establish best practice guidelines for all the various businesses within the organisation.This covers a number of important ethical areas including human rights, health and safety, employee relations and equal opportunities and diversity.

In 2008, we launched our Ethical Employment Partnership which will protect the needs of our employees, customers and shareholders. It will also drive improvement in employment standards across the global security industry.

We reached the agreement with UNI, the global union federation, to ensure that employee and union rights are respected throughout the company. The agreement aims to drive through improvements in industry standards, employment conditions and wages, and have a positive effect not only on the company’s employees but on their families and the communities in which they live and work. It also recognises that a company’s social and ethical responsibility should cross borders. This will help us to ensure that our ethical policies relating to employment are fully implemented.
