The transportation sector is a significant contributor to global carbon emissions, and as a leading security provider, Securitas recognises the importance of transitioning to sustainable practices. Electric vehicles have emerged as a key solution in reducing environmental impact, and Securitas is at the forefront of this change.  The company is pioneering the use of electric vehicles (EVs) within its fleet, aiming to set a benchmark for environmental responsibility in the industry. By integrating EVs into its operations, Securitas has the goal of not only enhancing operational efficiency but also contributing to a cleaner, greener future.

Global commitment to electric vehicles

Securitas has made significant strides in incorporating electric vehicles into the fleet. In Denmark, for example, more than 10% of its patrol cars are now electric, with plans to expand this initiative further. The North Zealand Mobile Guard Unit exclusively uses electric cars, demonstrating a commitment to sustainability. Additionally, the fleet includes newer models with low CO2 emissions, further reducing the environmental impact of the business.

There are practical steps to consider for transitioning to electric vehicles:

• Fleet evaluation: Securitas continuously assesses its fleet needs to identify opportunities for integrating electric vehicles.

• Charging infrastructure: The business is investing in charging stations to support the growing fleet of EVs, ensuring seamless operations.

• Technology integration: Through systems like Webfleet, Securitas monitors driving patterns to promote safe and environmentally friendly driving, further reducing energy consumption.

• Employee training: Securitas provides training to ensure staff are equipped to operate electric vehicles efficiently.

Securitas is committed to leading the charge in sustainability within the security industry. By embracing electric vehicles, the company is taking a proactive approach to helping create a standard for environmental responsibility and operational efficiency.
