We are committed to the Science Based Targets Initiave. We have implemented measures to reduce our carbon footprint in scope 1 and 2 in our own operations across Garda Group, including investing in renewable energy at our offices, and replacing fossil machines and vehicles with electric alternatives. However, the majority of our emissions fall under Scope 3, and as such we are actively collaborating with our suppliers to reduce these emissions.
At Garda Group, we are committed to continuously enhancing our operations to benefit both our employees and customers. All our subsidiaries are either already certified or are in the process of obtaining ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications. Additionally, a few of our companies hold ISO 27001 certification, with more in the pipeline. Our ISO certifications underscore our dedication to environmental management and occupational health and safety, ensuring a secure environment where all our employees can thrive and excel.
At Garda Group, we maintain a range of policies and procedures related to QHSE, procurement, ethical business, and sustainability. Our policies are the backbone of our organizational structure and culture, guiding our daily work by ensuring compliance with quality, environmental, health, and safety standards across Garda Group. The Garda Group policies align with relevant legislation, as well as the expectations of our customers, investors, and not least ourselves.
Through our sustainability strategy, processes and procedures, we contribute positively to UN’s 17 Sustainability Development Goals as well as the UN Global Compact on human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption.
