Securitas Recognized By U.S. Government For Climate Leadership
Securitas has been recognized as one of the top climate leaders among the U.S. government’s largest 200 suppliers.
To achieve net-zero emissions from procurement by 2050, the U.S. has launched a supplier action leaderboard highlighting exceptional climate leadership, which includes Securitas. As one of only 40 suppliers to meet all four climate action benchmarks – disclosing greenhouse gas emissions, setting science-based emissions-reduction targets, disclosing climate-related financial risk, and publishing a climate transition plan – Securitas is leading by example on climate action.
“I’m incredibly proud of the work we’re doing to build a safer and more sustainable world,” says President and CEO Magnus Ahlqvist. “As a global organization operating in 44 markets, we have a responsibility to lead by example – and we’re honored to be recognized for our efforts in this area. My hope is that our actions not only make an impact but also inspire others to join us in creating a future we can all be proud of.”
This recognition builds on Securitas’ ongoing commitment to sustainability. In December 2023, Securitas became the first global security solutions company to have its climate targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). With this validation, Securitas commits to a substantial reduction of its emissions, taking action and responsibility in limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
Another industry-leading initiative – led by the Securitas Technology business – aims at promoting environmentally sustainable solutions in the electronic security sector. As part of the initiative, Securitas Technology now incorporates greenhouse gas emissions data into new sales proposals in the United States and Canada, empowering clients to make informed decisions about their environmental impact.
“These initiatives are just a few examples of how we’re putting action behind our commitment to reduce our climate impact and drive meaningful progress,” says Chief Ethics and Sustainability Officer Sune Chabert Larsen. “Whether it’s by setting bold emissions-reduction targets, collaborating with our technology partners to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain, or driving industry change, we’re committed to doing our part to secure a more sustainable future for everyone.”
