Initiatives in local communities
As an employer and a trusted partner to our customers, Securitas also plays an important role in the societies where the company has business operations. Here are some examples of some initiatives in local communities:
Denmark
Together with a number of municipalities and private companies in Denmark, Securitas is participating in a mentorship project. Our employees serve as mentors to young people entering the work force, and in some cases young people with criminal backgrounds. The mentor prepares an action plan for the daily work and then accompanies the young person to the workplace as support to help develop the necessary social and professional skills.
France
Securitas France partners with an organization in the Lyon area who promotes more inclusive recruitment and offers help to vulnerable groups, such as long-term unemployed people. Through the partnership, Securitas can offer training and employment.
Ireland
In Ireland, Securitas collaborates with the organization Cloudforest. Their mission is rooted in ecological restoration, and they work to create and preserve forests that benefit the planet, nature, and people. Securitas support the planting of native tree species to enhance biodiversity and restore natural habitats. These efforts aim to create resilient ecosystems that can thrive in the face of climate challenges.
Spain
Securitas in Spain works together with Fundación Prevent for the implementation of the project In Good Hands. It is an initiative that aims to facilitate employment for people with severe disabilities and at risk of labor and social exclusion. These employees will be accompanied by a professional from Prevent Foundation, who will also carry out training and awareness actions for the staff.
United Arab Emirates
Securitas is working closely with a school for children with special needs in the United Arab Emirates. Employees regularly visit the school, which Securitas has supplied with cameras and access controls as well as first aid and firefighting training to teachers, free of charge.
USA
In the US, Securitas collaborates with different organizations that enhance the safety, health, and well-being in the community, for example, The National Association of Free and Charitable Clinics, who works to ensure that the medically underserved have access to affordable quality health care.
