At Squire Group we believe that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) should be a priority across the entire security industry and take a lead by considering the environmental, social and economic impact of all our business activities.

CSR is key to the continued development of Squire Group and we work closely with our customers and suppliers to embrace and promote our commitments in four key areas:

Community

Environment

Marketplace 

Workplace

At a corporate level we have made a conscious decision to move away from petrol powered vehicles and have introduced telephone and video conferencing to reduce the need to travel to meetings. Paper, mobile phones, PDA’s and print cartridges are recycled as a matter of course, with money raised donated to our nominated charity.

At an employee level we have introduced a detailed assessment and incentive programme to encourage all our staff to consider their own impact on the environment and minimise their personal contributions, both at work and at home. We also welcome our staff to make suggestions for company-wide improvements.

And we don’t just look at our own processes. All suppliers are now assessed for their commitment to CSR; in particular their processes for improvement and willingness to transfer best practice, and we have an open procurement system to allow local suppliers the opportunity to work in synergy with more established national providers.

At Squire Group however, we are fully aware that there is more to CSR than preserving the environment and with this in mind we are equally committed to the professional development of our employees and our role in the wider community. With our customers increasingly embracing the principles of CSR, and looking to their suppliers to reflect those values, we believe that it is imperative that the security profession follows suit.
