Our ethics

The backbone to our culture of social responsibility is our business ethics policy. 

This policy is also a living document. It is reviewed regularly, to ensure it continues to reflect our business model and areas of operation. Adherence to the policy is monitored regularly and reviewed annually as part of our compliance processes. All employees are asked to reaffirm their personal commitment to it every year.

Diversity and Inclusion

In G4S, we believe that increased diversity is vital to our continued success because the skills and talents needed to lead, develop and grow a global business are found in people from a diverse range of backgrounds.
Our challenge is to attract and retain the best people from the widest possible pool and provide them with an environment in which they can reach their full potential.
To support the implementation of the strategy we launched a self assessment tool. The aim of which is to help businesses identify gaps in their current approach to diversity and inclusion and provide some suggestions as to what actions to take to fill the gaps and to develop best practices. There are a number of dimensions in the strategy which are aligned to the key business processes such as measurement and monitoring, communication and marketing, recruitment and selection.
G4S operates in over 125 countries worldwide. With businesses in such a wide range of cultures and environments, ethnic diversity is therefore an inherent part of our total workforce make up.
The model we use to define how Diversity and Inclusion is embedded in the business strategy is shown on the chart to the right.
