SecuriGroup monitoring carbon footprint through SECR scheme

March 24, 2021

SecuriGroup has confirmed its commitment to measuring and monitoring its carbon footprint through the externally validated Streamlined Carbon Energy Reporting (SECR) scheme.

Understanding a business’ emissions is a vital first step towards reducing them. SecuriGroup’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions were assessed in accordance with HM Government’s Environmental Reporting Guidelines.

Figures were calculated for ‘Scope 1’ and ‘Scope 2’ emissions which includes direct emissions from company vehicles and building related energy, and the business took the decision to voluntarily include ‘Scope 3’ emissions that lie outside the direct control of the company. 

SecuriGroup has implemented paperless processes through the digitisation of systems by continuing to invest in the in-house development of its mobile app, SecuriGo. Earlier this year, the business transferred its web and cloud-based servers to carbon neutral providers. More efficient heating and lighting systems in UK and Ireland offices, and a focus on recycling office furniture and IT equipment has also contributed to a reduction in the organisation’s impact on the environment.

SecuriGroup continues to demonstrate its longstanding commitment to reduce carbon emissions, having held the Environmental Management accreditation, ISO 14001, for over 10 years.

SecuriGroup Chair, Baroness Ruth Henig CBE, remarked: “This achievement marks a significant milestone for SecuriGroup. We have committed to actively monitor and reduce our energy emissions, improve sustainability measures, and mitigate our impact on the environment.”
