On World Environment Day (5 June) we reflect on the progress we’ve made as a business and the role each of our employees plays in that journey.
Our environmental responsibilities are important to us. As a certified ISO 14001 organisation, our Environmental Management System provides the framework we use to identify, manage and continuously reduce ICTS UK & Ireland’s environmental impacts. We are committed to going beyond minimum legal compliance and we work closely with regulatory agencies and stakeholders to keep raising our standards. Every member of the ICTS team contributes to our environmental performance — whether it’s through how we travel, how we manage waste, or how we use energy day-to-day.
🌱 What We’ve Been Doing
Over the past year, we have:
- Invested in Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Credits — purchasing 4.5 tCO₂e of credits to reduce indirect emissions from corporate aviation travel by 30% by 2030.
- Continued to transition our fleet to electric and hybrid vehicles, getting ahead of the forthcoming UK’s Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate.
- Renewed our memberships with the United Nations Global Compact, SEDEX and the Supply Chain Sustainability School (Silver Award members).
- Published our Annual Communication on Progress (CoP) CSR Report to the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), demonstrating our transparency and accountability on environmental performance.
🔭 What’s Coming Next
- We have updated our Environmental Policy to align with ISO 14001:2026, formally incorporating ‘Climate Change’ as a risk. This puts us in a strong position ahead of our re-certification audit later this year.
- We will continue to progress the transition of our fleet to electric and hybrid vehicles and ICTS will continue to focus on reaching our target to reduce our Scope 1 fleet emissions.
- EcoVadis sustainability re-accreditation.
