The Foundation

our purpose, values, focus, and brand

From our client-facing colleagues to our CEO, we all live by our foundation every day.

It helps us know who we are, make decisions, and act in the Securitas way.

Our purpose

We help make your world a safer place

It all starts with our purpose. At Securitas, we help make your world a safer place. This is what defines why we exist and the role we play in society. We take pride in making people feel safe every day, in millions of places around the world. We do this by protecting everything from large infrastructure investments to corner shops, and from supply chains to individuals.
In doing so, we help prevent harm and save many lives each year.

Our focus

Safety and security solutions

An officer gives directions to a man.
Since the company's foundation, we've made a deliberate choice to focus on safety and security. We believe that by concentrating fully on what we do best, we can create the greatest value for our clients and communities. Within the security and safety industry, we continue to find many opportunities to do good while doing well. By staying true to our core competence, we remain an industry leader and trusted advisor. With the power of our presence, from security operations centers to mobile patrols, we play a truly meaningful role in society.
To win in the long term, we must be sustainable in every sense. Our commitment to our clients and colleagues is to keep developing our capabilities and operations over time, creating lasting value and sustainable profitability. This means making business decisions with integrity, and sometimes actively choosing not to be involved in certain types of work that could harm people or our planet.

Our three core values

Integrity, vigilance & helpfulness

Our three core values - integrity, vigilance, and helpfulness – form the basis of who we are and guide our actions. They're core to our culture, uniting us across our global footprint.

Integrity

Integrity means being honest and doing the right thing. We never compromise on our integrity, ethics, or truthfulness.

Vigilance

Vigilance means paying attention, taking initiative, and always looking for ways to improve.

Helpfulness

Helpfulness means being approachable, service-oriented and accommodating to our clients and colleagues. We support and look out for each other, always going the extra mile.

As experts, we provide intelligence-led security by being client centric, people focused, and data driven.

Client centric means always considering the client’s perspective, listening, and embracing an agile mindset to meet changing needs and risks. That ability comes from remaining people focused – empowering our colleagues to take ownership, act decisively, and be entrepreneurial.
We are strong believers in the power of diversity and treat all colleagues with respect and dignity. We know that inclusive teams – which reflect the diversity of the communities we serve – drive better outcomes, making them essential to our success.

The three dots

All of this comes together in the distinctive Securitas brand, where our logo with the three dots represents our core values. Our brand helps us visualize our values and purpose, but it also comes to life in what we say, how we say it, and how we act. In short, our identity and culture. Wherever the Securitas brand is present – in hundreds of thousands of places around the world each day – we play a meaningful role and, together, help make your world a safer place.

Did you know that our three core values were created by listening to our frontline colleagues and have been the same since the 1980s?

A watch

Take a few minutes to reflect on the following questions:

Which one of our three core values do you prefer the most and why?

As we focus on safety and security, our job is essentially about balancing risks. How do you consider various risks in your daily work?
