Societal impact
Delivering against the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
We touch the lives of millions of people every day, providing direct employment to hundreds of thousands and delivering crucial services to keep society safe and secure. The United Nations Sustainable Development gaols (UN SDGs) call upon businesses to advance sustainable development through the investments they make, solutions they develop and the practices they adopt.
We identified a range of social and economic impacts where G4S and Allied Universal support the realisation of the goals and makes a positive difference to society and communities around
the globe. We can make the greatest contribution to four UN SDGs and indirectly support the delivery of many more.
