Where we Operate

Key customer sectors – mining, oil and gas, retail, energy, agriculture and financial services. G4S is the largest provider of integrated security solutions in the region, with operations in 24 African countries.

A trusted partner to mining companies in Africa

We have a deep understanding of the specific security challenges for the mining industry in Africa. These challenges include illegal mining, access to infrastructure (protecting people, expensive equipment and intellectual property), theft and labour disputes. We are a trusted partner of most of the mining companies operating in the region, with 288 contracts securing mines in 18 African
countries. A key element of our partnerships is helping mining companies take a more holistic approach to risk, investing in operating systems that are able to audit risks more effectively, offer predictive analytics and leverage a more digital approach where issues can be flagged in real-time. We provide services covering project management, risk consultancy, secure facilities management, physical security, intelligent systems and high quality security-trained personnel to ensure that all possible security and safety contingencies and requirements are addressed.
