Advance Security Turns Green to Gold

Advance Security’s commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been recognised with the nationwide security provider declared regional winner in the ‘Green Award’ category of the 2009 Chamber Awards.

Launched by the British Chambers of Commerce in 2004, the Awards recognise and celebrate business excellence, providing winners with national recognition for their hard work and achievements made throughout the year. 

Advance was chosen by the judges for creating a sustainable environmental policy at the very heart of its business and for its continued commitment to developing and implementing initiatives which promote environmental best practice. 

Richard Bailey, managing director at Advance Security comments “At Advance we have been championing CSR for a number of years now and firmly believe that as an industry we need to consider the environmental, social and economic impact of all our business activities.

“Support for CSR comes from the very highest level within our company and as a matter of policy our entire management team seeks to implement and promote environmentally friendly working practices and programmes across our organisation.

“As such, we’re delighted that our hard work in this area has been recognised again, something I believe to be particularly impressive within an industry that is not known for its environmental and social commitments.”

The overall winner of the Chamber Awards 2009 will be announced in November this year, with a grand prize of £50,000 for the successful company.
