We also strongly believe that G4S’s reputation is interconnected with the reputation of other participants in our industry.
Membership and accreditations
With this in mind, we engage with a number of industry and regulatory bodies to provide thought leadership, and to set the standards of the industry and the sectors in which we operate.
International Code of Conduct for private security providers
United Nations Global Compact
In 2010, we became a signatory to the UN Global Compact, the international standard which promotes socially responsible business behaviour in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption.
Early in 2012, we published our first UN Global Compact: Communication on Progress, reaffirming our support of the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact. This outlines the actions we have undertaken to improve the integration of the Global Compact and its principles into our business strategy, culture and daily operations during 2011.
