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 inspire us to 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, the part we play in society and it guides our decisions. 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. We even save lives.

Our focus

Safety and security solutions

An officer gives directions to a man.
Beginning with the company’s foundation, our focus has been on providing safety and peace of mind of our clients. Within the security and safety market, we find many opportunities for us to do well. By staying true to our core competence, we remain leading experts in what we do. With the power of our presence, from SOCs to mobile patrols, we play a truly meaningful role in society.
To win in the long term, we need to be sustainable in all aspects, not only in the business we do. Our commitment to our clients and colleagues is that we will always develop our abilities and business over time, continuing to create long-term value and sustainable profitability. This means making business decisions with integrity, and sometimes actively choosing not to be involved in certain types of work where people or our planet’s resources come to harm.

Our three core values

Integrity, vigilance & helpfulness

Our three core values - Integrity, Vigilance and Helpfulness form the basis for our attitude and lead our actions.
We never compromise on them because they are the core of our culture. They define who we are and guide our actions.

Integrity

Integrity means being honest. 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.

As experts, we provide world-class 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 so that we can fulfill changing needs. That ability comes from the way we remain people focused, and empower people to take ownership, to act and to be entrepreneurial.
We are strong believers in the power of diversity, and we inherently treat all our colleagues with respect and dignity. We know that inclusive teams which reflect the societies where we operate generate better outcomes, making diversity necessary to thrive.
By being data driven, we can make sure that all our decisions are fact-based. We have confidence in the data and use it to develop ourselves, as well as our services and products. What it all comes down to is managing risks. Becoming experts at this means we can fulfill our purpose.

The three dots

All of this comes together in the distinctive Securitas brand, where the logo with the three dots represent our core values. Our brand helps us visualize our values and purpose, but it also comes through in what we talk about, 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 demonstrate the meaningful role we play in society and together help make your world a safer place.

Did you know that our three core values were created by listening to our front line 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?
