Our Ongoing Journey To Net Zero
Corps Security Blog

Our Ongoing Journey To Net Zero

The journey to Net Zero is a challenge most of us face. At Corps Security, we take our responsibilities to the environment very seriously. But as many will understand, it is an ongoing challenge and requires a dedicated team to review many business areas.

We equally take the reporting of our goals, achievements, and areas of improvement very seriously. Our annual ESG report is a testament to our commitment to be open and transparent with our colleagues, customers, suppliers, and the wider community we serve.

This year has seen significant investment to understand our position on the road to Net Zero truly, and we wanted to provide an update on where we are now and what we have done to ensure we remain on target to be a Net Zero Emissions business by 2050.

Communicating with our colleagues

Our annual conference took place in July 2023. It is customary for us to discuss our achievements in ESG and our progress on the journey to Net Zero. This year, we took that communication further and used the conference to educate and enhance our colleagues’ understanding of the jargon they often see communicated. We explained what Carbon Neutral means as an alternative phrase to Net Zero. We explained the scopes of our plans in easy-to-understand terms to ensure our colleagues could grasp the magnitude of the challenge we face, including what it means to the future of our business and industry, whilst communicating our actions and further commitments to set ‘science-based’ targets as we advance.

Corps are delighted to say that our Annual Conference in Oxford was a certified Carbon Neutral Event. Our quality and compliance team engaged with industry specialists at Neutral Carbon Zone (NCZ) to offset the event’s emissions, attended by hundreds of colleagues from across the country.

It was an engaging session with the core of Corps Security’s critical operational staff, senior management, regional managers, the board, and trustees.

Accuracy of Reporting

One of the key elements we were keen to address in 2023 is the accuracy of our reporting, not just with the ESG report for public consumption but our internal reporting for the business and individual sites- to give us a much deeper understanding of our emissions and how to control them.

Corps Security retains its ongoing collaborative partnership with Carbon Footprint Limited. Corps remains committed to reducing our emissions and fully engages with the recommendations provided to us to achieve our goals. In addition, we continuously review our Carbon Offsetting Programme and, in the last twelve months, have begun to explore further opportunities in biodiversity as an alternative – or in addition to – tree planting and replenishment schemes.

Working alongside Carbon Footprint, we continue to update our annual Carbon Reduction Plan and make our Carbon Footprint Appraisal available each year for everyone to review.

Corps’ latest initiatives

Whilst we remain on target for our carbon-neutral goals, we are not complacent in our actions or our education on how best to get there efficiently, effectively, and openly. We therefore wanted to share some of our latest initiatives to help us achieve our aims. They may surprise you, impress you or, better still, inspire you.

  • Hybrid/Electric Vehicles and Charging: The company has replaced many of our fleet with hybrid or electric vehicles. Sadly, the charging infrastructure in the UK restricts our ability to replace all our vehicles due to the remote locations of many of our customers’ sites. To reduce the impact of the poor infrastructure, we have installed four EV charging points at the Corps Monitoring Office and Alarm Receiving Centre in Glasgow and two at our London head office in Farringdon. Doing so means we can charge six vehicles at any one time. Our regional offices are leased buildings, so we have begun discussing the possibility of investing and installing points with the landlords of these properties.
  • Car Allowance: Corps have increased the car allowance for those choosing hybrid or electric vehicles to incentivise take up. There is also consideration of a salary sacrifice scheme, to further encourage engagement from our colleagues in this area.
  • Neutral Carbon Zone (NCZ): Following our engagement with CNZ for our annual conference, we are delighted to announce we will be signing a contract this month (September 2023) with them to utilise their unique carbon management and certification platform to track our journey to Net Zero. Our partnership will provide us with all the tools we need to monitor, report, and reduce the emissions of our entire value chain – efficiently and effectively.
  • Uniforms: Corps Security is in talks with a uniform recycling company regarding old uniform supplies. The organisation has a 3-tier system whereby Tier 1 reuses the material for future garments; Tier 2 recycles the materials into different products that can be used again, or Tier 3 the uniform is zero landfill, so if the material is non-recyclable, it will be made into chips and melted or used to generate energy.
    • Similarly, our London Regional Team recently engaged with Suited and Booted, a charity providing clothing and accessories for the less fortunate for job interviews. Not only did the London team provide an array of blazers, trousers, and other valuable items, but they also offered to provide our electric security vehicle to collect donations from across the capital and deliver them to the charity HQ when business operations allow.
  • Stationery: Corps has signed a new, company-wide contract with a leading ethical stationery supplier and fellow Social Enterprise, Ethstat, responsible for all office supplies to all locations across the UK. With every purchase, we can be confident that we are supporting dementia care and ending homelessness with every purchase.

Collaborative Supply Chain

At Corps, we pride ourselves on our relationships with our customers. By collaborating around carbon neutrality with them, we can share best practices, set joint goals, and engage in various partnership relationships to ensure the supply chain works together to better our planet and protect its people.

Get in touch

If you would like to know more about the initiatives we have in place, are a customer and would like to engage with us to help you achieve your goals, or if you have any questions about the work that we have done, please get in touch here.

Day Five – Ross-on-Wye to Bristol

Wales weather lets rip on the riders

Day Five was the hardest day for weather, Wales didn’t disappoint with mist, fog, rain and so much more.

Sadly, Day Five was the first and hopefully last time that a stretch of the challenge had to be skipped. The weather created dangers as roads were waterlogged, and there was a real danger that the bikes could get damaged or more concerningly injuries could occur.

After a quick recovery from the support team van, the team arrived at the Cardiff office where the team had laid on a spread and more importantly hot tea and coffee too.

Well done to Andy Topp, Sales and Marketing Director who joined as a guest rider. More from Rob, below.

Here is Rob Hill about to set off on Day Six with an update on Day Five…

 

Day Four – Stafford to Ross-on-Wye

Bike issues meant Dale Johnson had to pull out….

Day Four threw a few challenges at the team, none more so that Dale Johnson, who after many issues with his bike has had to make the extremely tough decision to pull out of the challenge. We want to take this opportunity to praise the amazing effort Dale has put into this challenge and for pacing through hundreds of miles despite equipment issues. Thank you, Dale! We appreciate every mile and minute.

You may have noticed if you were watching live that the team struggled to get out of Stafford. After a few laps the team were on route to Birmingham – albeit hitting traffic and roadworks on the way.

The team were surprised to see Neil Shanks join them (in a vehicle, not on a bike), taking some amazing photos (some of these are below) and dropping off a hamper of amazing goodies for the team. The riders soon reached the Birmingham office where they were also greeted by the Corps team.

Sadly, we have had some tracking device issues so apologies that we cannot see the whole route today. But, Rob fills you in below.

Day Three – Leeds to Stafford via Manchester

The weather gave the team a boost

Day Three took the team from Leeds in the heart of Yorkshire, via the Manchester office to the lovely town of Stafford.

Unlike Day Two, the team had less issues, in fact – the weather held up for the day and the team were able to pick up pace as they trekked down the west side of the UK. Rob – he was waiting for the hotel receptionist to dry his clothes. Don’t know how he smooth talked his way into that one!

The team are in good spirits. They are tired, but they know how important these vital funds are to Combat Stress and the UK veterans they support. So, if you can, please give generously. Thank you!

Day Three: Results

Climbing to an altitude of over 6,652ft, and averaging a speed of 38 mph, covering 93 miles the day three team smashed it.

You can now watch the journey with 3d landscape modelling, check out this link…

Day Two – Carlisle to Leeds

Freezing falls and fords

Following an incredible feat on day one, the team set off at 8:30am on one of the hardest days of the 7-day challenge. Day two also saw the arrival of Carly Bedford from the Leeds office, fresh and unfazed by the challenge, Carly began to set the pace for the lads as they felt the pain of day two.

Day two threw some challenges at the team too. Riding at over 7,800ft, the team faces severely cold weather, battling snow at the high altitude, not quite what you expect in early April. The pace and pressure of the challenge began to show, as Scott misses a turn and when trying to correct himself on the winding back road, had a little tumble. After a couple of mins in the support van, he was once again off with the team.

If anyone has experienced a countryside Ford, you will know you do all you can to avoid it. As Rob and Carly make use of the foot bridge as they were now a few minutes ahead of the other two, the boys didn’t think so quickly on their feet and as such decided to have a little swim in the freezing cold water. Ouch! But again, once stripped (yes naked) and reclothed, off they went to the finish line.

The team would like to give a massive shout out to Andy Bedford, Carly’s husband, who joined Rob for the last 40km of the cycle as the team took on the cycle route made famous by the Tour de France. Thank you, Andy.

Day Two: Results

Climbing to an altitude of over 7,800ft, the team cycled over 119 miles in 8.5 hours. What an

Day One – Glasgow to Carlisle

On day one, Rob Hill, Scott Hudson and Dale Johnson set off from the Corps Monitoring office in Glasgow. Day one was not kind, as the team faced wind and rain as they faced the steep inclines of the Scottish landscape.

The team battled the elements to complete the 116 miles to Carlisle, passing Douglas, Lockerbie and Gretna Green before reaching Carlisle around 7pm.

Corps launches diversity and inclusion initiative
Corps Security Press Releases

Corps Launches Diversity And Inclusion Initiative

Corps Security has formally launched Corps Together, a comprehensive campaign to improve equality, diversity and inclusion engagement across our organisation. The programme, which began over a year ago, aims to create a culture where heritage and differences are valued and celebrated while building an organisation which treats inclusion as an expectation not an aspiration

A group of volunteers, known as guardians, were recruited from within the business to take personal responsibility for the six protected characteristics: age, sex, religion, disability, gender and race.

The initiative includes the introduction of an ED&I charter which sets out our company level commitment to each Corps colleague and underpins the Corps value Everyone Matters. The senior team reviewed all Corps policies, procedures and recruitment processes to ensure ED&I best practice, introduced a Corps Together website, a short video and a quarterly magazine to engage people with the initiative together with a dedicated helpline/ email line to deal with any issues and panel support for HR issues or grievances so people feel supported if they’re raising a ED&I issue. here is also annual mandatory E&DI training for everyone in the business which is now undertaken using MOONHUB’s innovative virtual reality training platform.

The guardians also created a calendar of key dates across the six protective characteristics including faith festivals, LGBTQ History Month, Pride month and Black History Month and organise celebratory events for some of these key dates as well as social media activity.

The campaign is already having an impact. Corps’ annual Your Voice Matters colleague survey in summer 2021 demonstrated a growing understanding of ED&I issues thanks to the Corps Together initiative but with clear room for improvement. More than 60 percent of people are aware of Corps Together, just over 40 percent are aware of their guardian team members, almost 70 percent feel Corps proactively promotes equality diversity and inclusion and a similar number feel they can approach Corps if they have an issue relating to equality, diversity and inclusion.

“These results show that even where people aren’t aware of Corps Together, the majority feel Corps actively promotes equality, diversity and inclusion,” says Seetan Varsani, director of major accounts and strategic development at Corps Security, who leads the campaign. “We will measure and hope to see a year-on-year improvement in these scores.”

The guardians are also planning an annual ED&I awards scheme and want to use the official launch to get more engagement from site-based colleagues. “We want people to feel not just included but a sense of belonging,” adds Varsani.

Corps is also exploring the adoption of ISO 30415 – the new business quality standard in ED&I – with the aim to achieve this in 2022.

“As a social enterprise, people are at our very heart. Corps Together demonstrates that we value each and every one of our more than 3,000 people and want to celebrate our diversity,” says Paul Lotter, managing director of Corps Security.

Q&A: Rob Hill Is Managing Director Of Corps Monitoring

Rob has worked for Corps for more than 10 years and has been MD of Corps Monitoring for the past 18 months.

There are often misconceptions about security monitoring. What does your team do?  

Our team monitors devices such as CCTV intruder or fire alarms, personal attack alarms, or even the detection of water or gas leaks – anything with a sensor that transmits a signal over IP. We patrol sites remotely using cameras and even give answers to questions such as whether the site’s broadband is working. We also support organisations to grant remote access. The signals come over the internet to our Alarm Receiving Centre (Arc) in Glasgow and our officers receive an associated alarm. Their response depends on the site or type of event. Sometimes people think that it’s just officers staring at walls of screens and CCTV. But it’s not like that anymore. Now it’s more about sensors, video analytics and AI. Most cameras detect movement, and then communicate the signal to us. Some are now so sophisticated that they can tell the difference between an animal and a person setting off an alarm. Our customers are both the security installers (those installing camera and sensor equipment for an individual or organisation who need us to monitor them) and end-users (the individuals and organisations who wants us to monitor their existing cameras and sensors).

It sounds like monitoring is about protecting property and assets?

Much of the work is about physical assets such as plant and property but we also focus on keeping people safe too. In that way, we’re just like security officers patrolling a building. We monitor TV and sports personalities and high-profile businessmen who rely on us to protect their homes and keep their friends and family safe. We also support lone workers who use personal attack alarms through our Corps Guard app. Through that we’ve often helped people escape from dangerous situations such as attempted kidnap and robbery.

There must be some memorable moments along the way?

Yes, we’ve had almost everything you can imagine. On the amusing side, we’ve seen an intoxicated man falling over a wall into a site who then couldn’t get out because he was so drunk. We had to inform the keyholder who went to site to release him. Then there were some naked hippies who were dancing through protected areas blowing kisses at the camera operators as they were issued with warnings to leave the area. There was also the time when a man armed with a gun was seen on a customer’s site. We reported it to the Police, who attended site with armed colleagues. He turned out to be a pest control officer commissioned by the customer – they had forgotten to tell us! Sadly our officers also witness upsetting things and we provide counselling when this happens. Armed holdups are the most common incidence we come across and we work very closely with the Police across the country. It’s key for us to detect potential offenders before they have the opportunity to commit crime.

How have you and the team been affected by the pandemic?

We’ve found that customers’ working patterns have changed quite considerably. Many sites that were only monitored at night are now unoccupied during the day so they need monitoring 24 hours a day. This has meant a workload increase while also having to ensure everyone’s safety through social distancing and deep cleans.

What would you say to anyone looking to join the security monitoring industry?

Join us! It’s a fast-paced industry that is challenging but very rewarding. Visit our Alarm Receiving Centre so we can show you what’s possible – you’d be really amazed what happens there.

Looking ahead, what’s the future of security monitoring?

There are constant improvements in cameras and technology. This is a sector which never stands still. Thermal imaging cameras, which can detect people with high temperatures is an example of technology being introduced into many buildings in preparation for the post-Covid return to work. We’ve also started to see automated access control around whether people are wearing the correct PPE, such as hard hats in construction sites, with signals notifying us if someone is not complying with the rules. Analytics are also improving constantly. We used to get lots of false signals from animals, birds or tree branches swaying in the wind. That’s much less of a problem now. Our systems are becoming so intelligent and that’s where the future lies.

Looking Back To Look Forward

The end of a year is always a chance to look back on the previous 12 months and look forward to the following year. And 2020 has given us plenty to reflect on.

The pandemic has undeniably been devastating to many lives and livelihoods – particularly security officers who, through a combination of age, sex, ethnicity, location and lifestyle, turned out to be disproportionally more likely to be affected by the virus than other occupations. But it has also given us the opportunity to completely rethink how we support our people and our customers.

Our people served on the front line of the pandemic. While management and admin staff worked from home, our security officers went out to work keeping our customers’ buildings secure and supporting the skeleton teams working in those facilities. People started to appreciate their security teams a great deal more and we believe that change will be permanent.

Supporting our people’s wellbeing has always been our main priority but the pandemic has really brought this to the forefront and shone a spotlight on the extent of the challenges faced by our colleagues. We conducted a report in the early summer about the high death rate among security officers and we’ve increased our commitment to their wellbeing as a result. It’s essential our officers are safe and secure – it’s not just about them delivering security to others and keeping others safe. Our colleague portal has considerably ramped up and now has a separate colleague wellbeing section that offers support on mental wellbeing, exercise and nutrition.

One of our biggest challenges this year has been working effectively with customers and colleagues from afar. Our contract managers have been used to being out in the field carrying out audits and reviews and having valuable face-to-face contact with our people and customers. We’ve had to find new ways to achieve this remotely. Our online customer portal, Corps Secure, has been instrumental in making more remote practices a success. It has given us the ability to measure and manage our service delivery effectively even if our management team cannot always be physically present.

At the same time, we’ve had to keep up to speed with our customers’ constantly changing requirements as the pandemic changed to working practices and premises shut down or were partially occupied at different stages. It’s been essential to be adaptable and flexible and to think differently. Our officers have changed their shift patterns to adjust to these changing requirements, often becoming more mobile. We’ve also been increasingly using our Corps Monitoring capability with our alarm receiving centre in Glasgow, as many customers complemented physical security officers with security technology. Remaining agile and working even more closely with customers this year has been paramount.

The pandemic has taught us a great deal. It’s sparked a new level of compassion and made us more united, collaborative, resilient and innovative. It has also elevated the importance of our frontline security workers. We have always been an advocate of the Living Wage and we will only beat that drum louder now. Security is not just about security anymore. It’s about keeping people and places safe and secure. The role of the security officer has taken on a wellbeing responsibility and this is something that will become a permanent change and one that we expect to grow in the foreseeable future.
