How Much Carbon is Your Footprint Leaving?

A more sustainable future is not only shared responsibility, it is increasingly critical.

Securitas, is inviting clients and industry partners to make a difference in an ever-evolving world that faces diverse sustainability challenges.

This is a noble goal but isn’t this stepping outside the bounds of the security industry? As it happens, no it is not.

Securitas has launched a new environmental sustainability initiative.

It seems that 70 percent of Greenhouse Gas Emissions in electronic security occur during product use.

My friends at Securitas will tell you that we all have a responsibility to drive change. Their focus is on offering clients the most energy efficient solutions and services for the long-term sustainability of buildings, businesses, cities and communities.

“Achieving a more sustainable future requires collective action, and sustainability is increasingly at the forefront of our clients’ priorities,” said Tony Byerly,” global president at Securitas Technology and CEO of Securitas Technology Corp. “We are proud to step out and lead the industry to be more environmentally responsible, along side our committed technology partners, who have provided essential data for this important initiative.”

Think about this, plan accordingly and let’s all lend our thoughts and action for a more sustainable future.
