This voluntary analysis exercise will allow the two companies to track performance over time and, in turn, help guide and improve their engagement in these areas.
According to Antonio Rubio, Secretary-General of Prosegur, "at Prosegur, we are aware that our leadership in the private security sector implies a series of social, ethical and environmental demands. This translates into specific actions that, in turn, must be supervised and validated by independent entities. As a result of this commitment, we are strengthening our presence in some of the most internationally recognized indices and ratings. In addition, we want to further increase our presence in these indices in line with the objectives of our Sustainability Master Plan. Our decision to publish our ESG Evaluation demonstrates our commitment to this goal."
The four pillars that underpin the Prosegur Sustainability Master Plan
In 2021, Prosegur took a further step in fully assuming its corporate responsibility with the integration of ESG criteria into its business model and the approval of its Sustainability Master Plan, an action guide that establishes 63 initiatives encompassed in four key pillars (Ethics, Transparency and Governance; People; Safe Work and the Environment). These are inspired by the United Nations SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), a reference framework for global sustainability.
According to the S&P Global Ratings reports, Prosegur and Prosegur Cash have demonstrated a great capacity to use their resources, both internal and external, to respond to changes in their ever more complex and challenging area of activity, identifying opportunities and capitalizing on these changes.
