ESG Engagement and Reporting Frameworks

We engage with a number of widely recognized sustainability reporting frameworks and place great emphasis on our engagement with the ESG and sustainability community, both through G4S and Allied Universal at a global level.

We proactively seek feedback from our stakeholders, regularly holding meetings with ESG analysts and have had frequent dialogue with independent ratings agencies such as Sustainalytics and MSCI.

G4S, an Allied Universal® Company, proudly supports the 10 universal principles of the UN Global Compact, on human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption. We align our strategies and operations with these principles.

G4S, is a longstanding signatory to the UN Global Compact, and actively participates in the governing advisory group and various working groups of the UN Global Compact’s UK Network.

In our ESG report, we describe the actions that we have taken at Allied Universal and G4S to build upon and further integrate the spirit of the Global
Compact and its principles into our culture and values, business strategy and daily operations during 2023. Following changes to the Compact’s communication on progress (COP) reporting process, Allied Universal will complete the new COP in mid-2024.

Carbon Disclosure Project

Incorporating the experience of our international business, G4S, Allied Universal completed its first CDP submission in 2022. In 2024, our organisation achieved Discloser Status, with a climate change score of 'D'.

Reporting to the CDP helps organisations demonstrate awareness of their GHG emissions, encouraging reduction targets to be put in place and actions to address the risks and opportunities that are associated with climate change.

G4S is a founder signatory to the International Code of Conduct for Private Security Providers (2010). Based on international human rights standards, the code sets out the principles for security operations in complex environments - areas experiencing or recovering from disaster or unrest or where governments and the laws are weak. It covers recruitment, vetting and training of staff, use of force by security officers, the handling of firearms, health and safety, and the handling of reported complaints.

Key Allied Universal companies, including US-based MSA Security, and our complex environments business, G4S Risk Management, are certified members of the International Code of Conduct Association (ICOCA),
having achieved the necessary certifications.
