Platinum status from Neutral Carbon Zone attained by Corps Security

The specialist security services provider recorded a total carbon footprint of 6,184.85 tCO₂e for the 2025 calendar year, representing a 19% reduction from the company’s 2024 figures and a significant step forward in its long-term sustainability journey.

Between 2024 and 2025, Corps Security’s Scope One direct emissions fell by 35%, driven by the ongoing transition of the company’s fleet to electric vehicles, which saw company car emissions drop by nearly 39%.

Scope Two emissions from electricity reduced by more than 94% following the incorporation of renewable energy sources. Scope Three indirect emissions, which account for the majority of Corps Security's total footprint, fell by 18%, duly reflecting reductions across employee commuting and home working, purchased goods and services and ‘well-to-tank’ emissions.

When measured against revenue, the total carbon footprint per £1 million of turnover fell by over 29% between 2024 and 2025, from 65,919 kgCO₂e to 46,678 kgCO₂e, even as the business grew its revenue by upwards of 14%.

Achieving Platinum status represents the highest tier of NCZ certification, reflecting Corps Security’s high-detail carbon measurement and continued progress in reducing emissions year-on-year.

International standards

Neutral Carbon Zone’s carbon footprint reporting recognises organisations that measure their full organisational and operational footprint in line with internationally recognised standards, including the WRI/WBCSD Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Standard and ISO 14064-1:2018. The assessment covers Scope One, Scope Two and Scope Three emissions.

Sharon McLaren, quality and compliance manager at Corps Security, explained: “This Platinum certification from Neutral Carbon Zone reflects the sustained decarbonisation effort from individuals right across our organisation. Progress like this shows that our colleagues are equally committed to the sustainability journey. Our efforts are translating into clear results. We will continue building our sustainable practices aligned with our ‘People, Planet, Purpose’ philosophy.”

Neutral Carbon Zone has identified several priorities for the next reporting period. These include further developing staff participation in commuting surveys to strengthen data quality, conducting more in-depth supply chain analysis in order to identify further efficiencies and standardising energy and fuel data collection processes across the organisation.
