Green practices run through the beating heart of everything that makes us Safer. We work hard to mitigate not just our own, but the site security industry as a whole's ecological footprint by reducing carbon emissions, minimizing waste generation, and conserving resources where possible.

Some examples of this in practice include implementing energy-efficient technologies, such as our range of solar and sustainably powered POD® devices and CCTV systems alongside our pledge to adopt electric vehicles for staff. Such actions not only lower operational costs but also demonstrate our commitment to reducing our environmental impact.

We voluntarily participate in a scheme via fuelcard services called 'CO2 Count' in conjunction with Cool Earth to trace and offset the carbon footprint of our fleet of vehicles. Within this scheme, we receive quarterly reports to track our CO2 emissions.

Our vehicles are also tracked and satellite navigation is encouraged to ensure all routes followed are the shortest, most efficient possible. We have implemented EV schemes for our employees, and hope to operate a fully electric fleet in the coming years. 

Safer Group have achieved Supply Chain Sustainability School Silver level, reflecting the level of engagement our organisation has with the school and our active interest in pursuing a green agenda.                                      

Safer Group are proud to back the Ocean Bottle scheme. We do this by providing all staff with a branded, reusable Ocean Bottle! For every bottle we issue, 11.368kg of ocean-bound plastic is collected and saved from being a future pollutant.  

As of April 2024, the global efforts of organisations backing the Ocean Bottle scheme have funded the collection of over 11.4 million kg of ocean plastic, which is the equivalent to 1 billion single use plastic bottles.
