Overview Strategic review Performance Performance Corporate Social Responsibility continued Securing our environment Why it matters Our customers and employees show increasing concern for environmental issues. Whilst our environmental impacts are not significant relative to other businesses of comparable size, it remains important for us to be efficient in our use of resources such as energy and, in doing so, curtailing our greenhouse gas emissions. What we’re doing Carbon and energy Since we launched our Climate Action Strategy in 2009, our carbon intensity has decreased by 10.3% per £1m of revenue. This reduction in carbon intensity translates to a real reduction of 3% in carbon emissions. To mitigate impacts from our property portfolio, we launched a new Green Building minimum standard in 2011 requiring that all future new-build or long-lease facilities, above a certain threshold must meet the regional environmental building standard such as BREEAM or LEED. In relation to our vehicle fleet impacts, implementation of the G4S Telematics system was completed in late 2011 which will allow us to monitor, manage and adjust driving behaviour, with the employee fully engaged in the process. This programme is expected to deliver cost savings of around £1.3m per annum, around 10% of the operations’ fuel usage. Since 2010 we have also introduced a number of electrically powered vehicles into our fleet, such as the T3 Motion in USA and the Tazzari Zero in the Netherlands, as part of our programme to reduce vehicle emissions and create a greener fleet. How we’re performing uu The G4S 2011 total carbon footprint calculated for 100% of the business equates to some 608,500 t/CO2e uu Achieved an overall reduction in carbon intensity of 5.1% in 2011 uu 5.5% reduction in overall fleet emissions since 2009 Carbon intensity (t/CO2e per £m) 2009 2010 2011 Carbon intensity (t/CO2e per £m) 85.8 81.1 77.0 Priorities for 2012 uu Continue to implement energy efficiency strategies to reduce carbon intensity by at least 13% from 2009 to 2012 uu Launch and implement the new G4S environmental strategy for 2012 to 2014 uu Develop our measurement of waste and water consumption and introduce targets for reduction Securing our communities Why it matters G4S recognises that its ability to provide a safe and secure environment around the world depends on the deep and real relationships with the communities and people with whom it works. G4S is therefore committed to being a good corporate citizen. We understand the importance of investing in the communities in which we live and work and to which we provide services. What we’re doing Community programmes and investment In 2011, we set ourselves a target of achieving £2 million investment in community programmes and charitable donations across the group. In 2011, G4S also completed its first comprehensive review of its regional and country managed community investment activity around the world. The review has helped us to understand the true level of G4S community investment, identifying G4S participation in more than 550 community programmes across the globe. In regions of the world where large parts of the community are at risk of poverty, we are developing programmes such as “Sharing with our People” which has built new homes for employees in Romania, Peru and Chile, and a scholarship initiative in Guatemala which works to help front-line employees gain their high school diploma, helping them to provide a better future for themselves, their families and ultimately their communities.
