Our strategy is modeled on the United Nations Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights.
The principles of environmental, social, and governance responsibility sit at the heart of ASSL. Our strategy is driven by a bold and influential approach across all three pillars:
Our material ESG topics, and where each is addressed in this report, are summarized below:
ASSL is committed from its inception to sustainability and to the fight against climate change. This commitment integrates into the attainment of our business goals a policy that focuses not only on our services contributing to sustainability, but on sustainably achieving those goals thereby contributing to economic progress, social equity, and conservation of the environment.
We continually assess methods to reduce our wastage and energy consumption, while ensuring that we motivate and educate staff about green issues. In line with the UN Global Compact:
GRI reference: GRI 302 (Energy), GRI 305 (Emissions), GRI 306 (Waste)
ASSL shall comply with all legal requirements and generally accepted work practices and procedures for the protection of the environment, alongside the promotion of health and safety of its employees and associated stakeholders. ASSL is committed to continuously improving its HSE performance and looks to achieve this by auditing, monitoring, reviewing, and achieving our strategic objectives and targets.
Management ensures that all employees are equipped with the necessary resources equipment, finance, and personnel to fulfil duties in a safe manner and to prevent accidents and incidents without negative consequences to the environment, including the safe handling and transportation of any harmful substances used by the organization at any point during its operations.
ASSL’s supplier selection and on-boarding procedure includes due diligence of a supplier’s reputation, respect for the law, and compliance with health, safety, and environmental standards.
Our Social pillar covers how ASSL treats its employees, respects human rights across its value chain, safeguards against modern slavery, and builds an inclusive and safe workplace and community.
ASSL is committed to respecting human rights and strives to positively impact all the people we depend upon across our full value chain. We aim to know and show our human rights risks and take them into account in business decisions. Our strategy is modeled on the United Nations Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights.
Amalgamated Security Services Limited is committed to respecting all human rights, as articulated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Voluntary Principles of Human Rights, and the Montreux Document. We expect our business partners, including suppliers and contractors, to adopt and adhere to similar values.
In essence, ASSL is committed to the following principles:
ASSL supports, through an open atmosphere of ongoing dialogue, the free association of its workers and considers this to be an inalienable right. Our staff has access to a 24/7 hotline (330-1133 or 681-7711).
ASSL condemns all forms of forced labor and child exploitation and supports initiatives aimed at their elimination, in accordance with Convention 138 of the International Labour Organization (ILO) concerning minimum age.
ASSL will neither accept nor abide by any action that entails discrimination of candidates in any hiring process due to race, colour, sex, religion, political or other views, nationality or social background, or economic or birth status.
ASSL is committed to being an industry leader in health, safety, and environmental practices. HSE responsibility and accountability generate value for our clients, and providing guidelines for appropriate prevention activities and promoting a good working environment for all personnel is a high priority.
A safe system of work is developed for routine and non-routine activities, endorsed by Executive Management and guided by our Standard Operating Procedures [ASSL-HSE-019]. This is supported by HSE Committees and Safety Meetings that facilitate open communication with employees, clients, and contractors on matters affecting their health and safety.
Employees at all levels are expected to act as safety officers, promptly reporting any hazardous practice in their day-to-day work, and the Board of Directors, Managers, and Supervisors are committed to maintaining all company-owned assets, including HSE-critical equipment, in accordance with manufacturer specifications and best practice.
Amalgamated Security Services Limited is committed to preventing and mitigating exploitation, bribery, and corruption. We will not accept modern slavery, forced labor, and human trafficking anywhere within our operations or supply chain.
We consider modern slavery a crime and morally reprehensible act that deprives a person of liberty and dignity for another’s gain, taking forms such as slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labor, and human trafficking. We establish a relationship of trust and integrity with all our suppliers, and our supplier selection and on-boarding procedure includes due diligence of the supplier’s reputation, respect for the law, compliance with health, safety, and environmental standards, and references.
Core elements of our actions to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking:
Supplier due diligence: ASSL conducts due diligence on new subcontractors and suppliers during onboarding, requiring completion of a due diligence checklist and checking them against international watch lists. We require subcontractors and suppliers to attest that they do not use any form of forced, compulsory, or slave labor; that their employees work voluntarily and are entitled to leave work; and that each employee is provided an employment contract with a reasonable notice period for termination.
