Diversity, equality & inclusion
We are proud of the diversity within our organisation and we believe that building an inclusive workplace, where all colleagues can flourish in their careers is the only way to set ourselves up for success and serve our clients in the best way possible.
ICTS continues to work hard to create a gender balanced workforce to reflect the communities and clients we work with and enable our employees to thrive within these environments.
Equality and diversity in a workplace mean a number of things: it is about treating each member of our Team fairly and the same, respecting them for their age, race, gender, cultural background, skills, beliefs, sexual orientation, career experiences and more.

Environment & carbon reduction plan
We are committed to sustainable development, which means we will always focus on meeting the needs of today without compromising the ability of future generations to do the same.
We are also committed to reducing our impact on the environment, and that’s why we have made it an integral part of our work.

Gender pay gap
We work hard to create a gender-balanced workforce to reflect the communities and clients we work with and enable our employees to thrive within these environments. Having an equal, diverse, and inclusive workplace will create a place free of unfairness, bias, and imbalance and will promote a healthy and positive workplace culture.
ICTS commissioned an independent research company to explore the experiences of women working in Security as we wanted to better understand any barriers that may exist for our female employees working in a Security environment and how they could be overcome.
We have used the results of the survey to build our reputation as a business that supports woman in security. We continue to build on initiatives to attract and develop women into senior roles and are supporting our Leaders to drive inclusion.
We are exploring different ways of developing our flexible working and family-friendly policies to help us retain talent and attract more women aspiring to a career in Security.

Rewarding our people
We celebrate our employees; they are our biggest asset.
Our Employee Recognition Schemes are one of our ways of celebrating our people. The schemes also help employees see that we value them and their contributions to the success of their team and of our Company overall.
As well as Long Service Awards, we have a Customer Service Star scheme, Employee of the Quarter, Employee of the Year and Performance Awards.
CSR report
We chose to join the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) to demonstrate our commitment on a wider scale in both our actions and reporting.
Being a member of the UNGC helps us as a business to commit to, assess, define, implement, measure and communicate our sustainability strategy goals and to make a difference across four core areas: human rights, labour, the environment and anticorruption.
