UNIONTOWN, Ohio – Securitas Technology, a division of Securitas AB, has made “remarkable strides in its sustainability initiatives, solidifying its position as a leading force in the security, health and safety technology sectors,” according to a company announcement.
Recently, Securitas AB was recognized as one of the top climate leaders among the 200 largest suppliers to the U.S. government, highlighting “its dedication to creating a safer and more environmentally
conscious future,” the announcement says.
The U.S. government has introduced a new federal supplier climate scorecard designed to highlight organizations that excel in climate action. Securitas is one of 40 suppliers to meet all four climate action benchmarks set by this initiative.
This recognition “reflects the company’s unwavering commitment to sustainability and underscores the
proactive steps Securitas is taking to mitigate our climate impact and drive meaningful progress,” the company announcement says.
The Importance of Sustainability to Securitas
“As the world’s second largest commercial electronic security company, we take our leadership role in seeing a different world seriously and this is just the start of our journey,” says Tony Byerly, global president and CEO of Securitas Technology, in the company announcement.
“This recognition is a key milestone in our sustainability journey to innovate solutions that serve to protect our clients and the environment alike,” he says.
In December 2023, Securitas became the first global security solutions company to have its climate targets validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). This validation “confirms the company’s leading commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2030, in line with the Paris Agreement’s target of limiting global warming to 1.5°C,” the company announcement says.
Securitas Technology unveiled its groundbreaking Sustainability Initiative at this year’s Global Security Exchange (GSX) show. This initiative “demonstrates the company’s commitment to reducing environmental impact while continuing to deliver world-class security solutions to its clients,” according to the company announcement.
“Achieving a more sustainable future requires collective action, and sustainability is increasingly at the forefront of our clients’ priorities,” says Byerly in the announcement. “We are proud to step out and lead the industry to be more environmentally responsible, alongside our committed technology partners who have provided essential data for this important endeavor.”
