What This Meant for Our Clients
Our clients trust us to act with integrity, responsibility, and forward thinking. By introducing this initiative, we strengthened our position as a security partner that supports sustainable operations—helping our clients align with suppliers who value environmental stewardship.
The initiative supported:
-
Environmental Performance – By separating general waste, recyclables, and food waste, we significantly increased recycling rates and reduced the volume of waste going to landfill.
-
Regulatory Compliance – We ensured full adherence to new waste regulations, safeguarding operational standards at every client site.
-
ESG Leadership – This change served as a practical demonstration of our ESG commitments in action—highlighting measurable improvements in our environmental practices.
What We Introduced
To meet the new requirements and support sustainable working environments, we introduced a three-bin waste segregation system across our operations:
1. General Waste Bins
Used for non-recyclable materials.
2. Dry Mixed Recycling Bins
Used for paper, plastic, cans, and other recyclable items.
3. Food Waste Bins
Placed in canteens, kitchens, and break areas to collect compostable waste.
We also worked closely with our waste management provider to ensure that each waste stream was collected and processed separately, helping to maximise recycling efficiency and reduce contamination.
How We Engaged Our Team
We rolled out this initiative across our offices, regional branches, and engineering teams. Site-based staff were guided to adopt the same practices where possible. Clear signage, internal communications, and team briefings ensured everyone understood what went where—and why it mattered.
Engineers returning waste to Head Office or regional sites were instructed to sort materials correctly, with particular emphasis on preventing recyclables from ending up in general waste skips.
Impact on Our ESG Goals
This initiative represented a key milestone in our journey toward a more sustainable future. It directly supported our ESG targets by:
-
Lowering our operational carbon footprint
-
Reducing waste volumes and improving recycling metrics
-
Promoting a culture of environmental responsibility within the business
By embedding these practices into our daily operations, we demonstrated that even small changes can lead to measurable improvements when applied consistently across the organisation.
