Public Summary — For Stakeholders. Academic–Technical Ultra‑Expanded Edition (Neutral English). A concise but comprehensive narrative of strategy, governance, risk, performance, and targets. Reporting year: 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2026. Owner: Corporate Affairs, Ethics & Compliance, Risk & Sustainability. Assurance status: internal controls; external assurance scope to be defined.
In Force Security Ltd provides protective services for organizations whose operations rely on trust, reliability, and repeatable professional judgment. Our ESG approach is not only a matter of reputation; it is an operating system that underwrites safety and performance. This Executive Summary explains how our ESG strategy aligns with business objectives, how governance converts intent into measurable execution, and how our 2026 targets will be achieved.
We write in neutral international English to facilitate clarity across jurisdictions and align with widely used reporting frameworks. Where standards diverge, we adopt the stricter requirement unless legal conflict prevents it. We emphasize system design—governance, controls, data quality, and assurance—because sustained outcomes depend on institutional discipline rather than one-off initiatives. Our goal is to present a coherent picture: what we consider material, what we are doing about it, and how we measure progress.
This Executive Summary covers the financial year 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2026 and addresses environmental, social, and governance topics material to our business model. The scope includes owned and leased operations, centrally procured utilities and fleet, office functions, control-room activities, and on-site security services delivered for clients. Supply chain considerations reflect a risk-weighted approach emphasizing categories with higher exposure to human rights and environmental impacts.
Reporting boundaries reflect where we have control, significant influence, or indirect leverage. For greenhouse gas accounting, Scope 1 includes fuel combustion in fleet and stationary sources under our control; Scope 2 covers purchased electricity and heat; and Scope 3 focuses on relevant categories such as purchased goods and services, fuel and energy-related activities, upstream transport, business travel, employee commuting, waste, and leased assets. Human rights considerations are applied across all relevant operations and suppliers.
Our strategy links ESG outcomes to risk management, operational efficiency, and growth. We apply a double materiality lens considering both financial materiality—how ESG topics affect enterprise value—and impact materiality—how our activities affect people and the environment. This creates a unified prioritization framework informing capital allocation, vendor selection, service design, and client engagement. Materiality is reviewed annually and upon material changes.
Value creation is straightforward: lower incident rates reduce costs and improve client retention; efficient routing and preventive maintenance lower fuel consumption and emissions while enhancing reliability; ethical recruitment protects workers and maintains supply continuity; strong information governance lowers the probability and impact of data incidents; and transparent governance with credible metrics improves access to capital and partnerships. ESG is a system of constraints and investments that strengthens performance and resilience.
The Board sets risk appetite for conduct, safety, and sustainability and receives periodic reports including leading and lagging indicators. A designated committee oversees ESG matters including climate strategy, human rights due diligence, and data privacy. Executive leadership integrates ESG into planning and budgeting, with performance objectives covering both outcomes and methods. Risk & Compliance maintains the policy stack and monitors adherence, while Internal Audit provides independent assurance focused on control effectiveness.
Management accountability is supported by clear metric ownership, defined escalation thresholds, and a documented issues-management workflow. Corrective actions are assigned and completion verified where control gaps are identified. Conflicts of interest are managed through declarations and mitigation plans. The Speak Up mechanism provides confidential channels for concerns, with non-retaliation enforced. Digital systems governance follows a layered risk-based approach.
Our environmental profile is dominated by transport energy for mobile and patrol operations and electricity consumption for control rooms and offices. Scope 1–2 emissions are tracked using activity data and credible emission factors; Scope 3 categories are prioritized by significance and data availability. Transition plans focus on practical levers that preserve service reliability, including route optimization, telematics, preventive maintenance, and efficiency improvements.
Climate-related risk is analyzed as physical risk—exposure to heat, storms, flooding, or wildfire—and transition risk—policy, technology, and market changes including low-emission zones, fuel taxes, and client decarbonization requirements. We follow the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) guidance for governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics. Scenario analysis informs resilience planning.
Our people are the operating system of the business. Occupational safety and health are managed under ISO 45001 principles, including hazard identification, risk assessment, control selection, competence, worker participation, incident reporting, and continual improvement. Metrics include total recordable incident rate, lost-time rate, and near-miss reporting. Root-cause analysis informs corrective actions, with fatigue management treated as a key control.
Wellbeing includes mental health. Exposure to conflict, trauma, or distress is operationally recognized; support includes confidential assistance, post-incident debriefs, and de-escalation training. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are performance drivers: psychologically safe teams identify risks sooner and resolve conflicts effectively. Fair hiring, promotion, and compensation practices are monitored to detect and correct bias.
We recognize that security operations and supply chains can intersect with human rights. Our Human Rights Policy and Modern Slavery Statement provide frameworks for due diligence, grievance handling, and remedy. Forced labor, child labor, and human trafficking are rejected, with employer-pays principle enforced. Recruitment is transparent; workers do not pay fees or surrender documents, and wages are traceable and timely.
Due diligence operates before, during, and after engagement. High-risk suppliers are subject to enhanced screening and monitoring, with time-bound remediation plans. Remedies are applied or enabled consistent with law and fairness, and non-retaliation is enforced. Grievance data informs training, contracting, and escalation practices.
Information is a critical asset. Governance follows a layered control model aligned with recognized frameworks. Data is classified by sensitivity, access is least-privilege, authentication is strong, and encryption protects data in transit and at rest. Configuration baselines, patch management, vulnerability remediation, anti-malware defenses, and logging are maintained. Incident response defines roles, thresholds, and recovery objectives, with regular testing.
Privacy is managed via lawful basis, minimization, transparency, accuracy, storage limitation, and security. Body-worn video is governed with clear activation rules, signage, secure storage, role-based access, and redaction. AI or analytics are used with purpose limitation, explainability, and bias testing. Data subject rights are handled through documented workflows, with cross-border transfers using approved mechanisms.
Supply chains are extensions of our operational system. Risk-weighted due diligence focuses on uniforms, textiles, electronics, and labor providers. Contracts embed expectations on labor standards, environmental practices, anti-corruption, privacy, and ethical recruitment. Monitoring includes document review, site visits, and worker-voice channels. Corrective actions are tracked to closure, with persistent non-remediation triggering escalation.
We work with suppliers to reduce emissions, improve resource efficiency, and strengthen labor standards. Joint planning includes material selection, take-back programs, and logistics minimizing waste, aiming to improve performance while maintaining reliability and cost discipline.
We engage communities respectfully and transparently. Security operations often occur in public spaces; local stakeholders are consulted to align safety objectives and impact mitigation. Local recruitment is prioritized; training emphasizes courteous engagement and de-escalation. Community initiatives focus on safety, opportunity access, and pathways into employment.
Objectives and outcomes for community initiatives are documented to ensure purposeful, measurable engagement. Learning is shared across sites for replication of effective approaches.
Decision-useful ESG information requires disciplined data governance. Metric ownership, data sources, calculation methods, and boundaries are defined. Estimates are distinguished from measured values, and evidence is maintained for review. Data gaps are disclosed with improvement plans. Internal control testing assesses completeness and accuracy; Internal Audit provides independent assurance focused on control effectiveness.
Climate metrics use recognized emission factors and documented assumptions. Safety and human capital metrics follow standardized definitions. Supply chain due diligence tracks coverage, findings, remediation, and recurrence. Material methodology changes are disclosed for trend comparability.
Targets are chosen for materiality, measurability, and operational relevance. Climate targets focus on reducing Scope 1–2 emissions via route optimization, telematics, and electrification where feasible. Safety targets include near-miss reporting, corrective-action closure rates, total recordable incident rate, and lost-time rate. Human rights targets include full due-diligence coverage of high-risk suppliers, remediation, and elimination of worker-borne recruitment fees. Information governance targets focus on remediation of vulnerabilities, privacy assessments, and phishing resilience. Community engagement targets include documented outcomes for programs directly linked to safety and opportunity.
This Executive Summary contains forward-looking statements based on current expectations, estimates, and assumptions. Actual outcomes may differ due to policy changes, market dynamics, technology availability, supplier capacity, client requirements, or climatic events. Targets are reviewed and plans adjusted as warranted, with transparency maintained on changes and implications for performance.
