Prosegur Signs Up to Climate Pledge

Prosegur, including its cash business Prosegur Cash, is the first security group to sign up to ‘The Climate Pledge’, a commitment to achieve net zero carbon by 2040. The Climate Pledge initiative was created by Amazon and Global Optimism in 2019 and 53 companies are now signed up to it.

Prosegur will measure and report on its greenhouse emissions and implement initiatives to improve efficiency, increase its renewable energy use and reduce its use of polluting materials. For any remaining emissions the company will use offsets to achieve the net zero carbon target. The offsets will be quantifiable, real, permanent and socially beneficial.

Prosegur regards signing up as evidence of its commitment to sustainability, a cornerstone of the company's development strategy. It has already started work on decarbonisation, having hybridised and electrified its fleet of operational and commercial vehicles. Prosegur Cash operates the world’s first 100% electric armoured lorries, is limiting its use of plastics and is increasing its recycling of plastics and oils.
