2023 Sustainability Report

Social

It all starts where we live and work

Having good relationships with the communities we live and work in is critical and SECURE does so by supporting the enrichment and improvement of community well-being.

People

Investing in the growth and development of our people

We believe there is Energy in Together. We're part of a dynamic, growing company with an entrepreneurial spirit and a passion to do the right thing. It is our innovative workforce who drives us towards achieving our sustainability objectives in the 1,000 little things we do everyday.

Creating a diverse and inclusive workplace

At SECURE, we appreciate the importance of creating an environment in which all our employees feel valued, included, and empowered to be key contributors to our success. All team members have a role to play in helping to create an accessible workplace where everyone feels that they belong.

Our diversity and inclusion initiatives and actions are focused on:

  • Fostering awareness, understanding, and skills among all employees, to support a respectful and inclusive workplace.
  • Aiming to create a workplace that reflects the diversity of the communities in which we work.
  • Building inclusive leadership skills as a core competency for all leaders.
  • Supporting involvement in diverse employee networks and other related initiatives.
  • Collaborating with industry and community partners to foster inclusion and reduce employment barriers

Board of Directors Diversity 

SECURE is focused on promoting diversity and inclusion on the Board and throughout the organization. In 2021, SECURE approved a Diversity and Inclusion Policy to outline the company’s commitment to diverse attributes in recruiting, hiring and promoting employees, and to the measurement of and reporting on SECURE’s progress in implementing diversity and inclusion throughout the workforce. We are confident that the implementation of this policy and the diversity that currently exists throughout the organization will lead to greater diversity at the executive level over time. The Diversity and Inclusion Policy further provides that SECURE has adopted a target of maintaining a Board comprised of at least 25% women. In 2021, SECURE achieved this target as women comprised 25% of the Board.

Safety

Everyone Goes Home Safe

Our number one goal every day is to go home safe. Like our values state, Working the SECURE way starts with Working Safely. From operators at our various field locations to employees who work at our Calgary head office and regional offices, safety is a cornerstone of our culture, because if we’re not safe, nothing else matters. Our track record of safe operations demonstrates our commitment to the highest standards and attests to our vision of striving for an injury-free workplace. SECURE is focused on building a sustainable, values-driven safety culture.

Community Investment

Reinvesting time and money in communities

Giving back in the communities where we live and work is being a good neighbour. In the last five years alone, SECURE has reinvested over $5.9 million back into communities throughout Western Canada and the US, supporting organizations such as the United Way, STARS Air Ambulance and KidSport.

Regardless of commodity cycles or economic factors out of our control, SECURE remains committed to responsibly reinvest time and money back into the communities that welcome and continue to support our business.

Indigenous Engagement

Advancing relationships with Indigenous communities and providing opportunities for increased economic participation

We are committed to building lasting relationships with Indigenous peoples through respectful engagement and providing opportunities for increased economic participation. We strive to maintain positive relationships that contribute to the sustainable economic and social development in the communities where we do business. We are guided by the framework set out in our Indigenous Relations Policy.

Supply Chain

The success of our business relies heavily on the relationships that we have built with our suppliers

We strive to work with organizations who share our core values, sustainability objectives and environmental and social practices. SECURE’s Supplier Code of Conduct was launched in 2020 to establish standards and principles with respect to labour and human rights, business ethics, health and safety, environmental sustainability and stakeholder engagement. We prequalify our contractors and suppliers prior to supplying goods or services to the organization and expect our suppliers to adhere to this Code.

Governance

Our Board of Directors has thoughtfully chosen opportunities and provided insight and advisement for long-term sustainable growth at SECURE. The Board is responsible for supervision of our business affairs with the objective of enhancing shareholder value. The Board manages several committees:

  • Environment, Social and Governance
  • Audit 
  • Compensation
  • Corporate Governance and Nominating

Sustainability Governance

The Board’s ESG Committee continues to actively participate in the oversight of SECURE’s matters, including advancing the integration of ESG within the organization and overseeing the implementation of SECURE’s ESG strategy. Management reports to the Board on SECURE’s sustainability performance on a quarterly basis.
