    2021 Report
    2021 ESG Metrics

    SECURE was founded on reducing environmental impact.

    Our future success relies on incorporating ESG goals and commitments into our company’s growth strategy, future endeavors and day-to-day operations.

    To SECURE, the integration of key ESG principles into our operations reduces risk and enhances long-term business resilience. It is also an opportunity to improve processes, engage employees and spark innovation to drive new tools and technologies to support the achievement of our ESG specific goals. Most importantly, ESG aligns with our corporate value of doing the right thing. Our unique culture is driven by entrepreneurial spirit, motivation and hard work that enables us to carefully consider our stakeholders’ needs and deliver innovative solutions.

    SECURE is proud to share its 2021 Sustainability Report, the first of its kind as a combined organization. 

    We invite you to explore how SECURE is operating sustainably and mitigating the impacts of climate change by reducing our own emissions and providing services that support our customers in transitioning to a lower carbon economy.

    At SECURE, we recognize that our long-term success goes beyond the financial metrics of our business and we focus on connecting our strong employee culture with our corporate strategies to drive improved ESG performance.

    Sustainability Strategy

    In 2021, to formalize our commitment to ESG, short and long-term goals were created to achieve meaningful change on the path to a low emission future. Learn more about our roadmap to achieving net-zero GHG emissions by 2050 and see our Climate Action Plan for more details.
