Building a sustainable business
We have a responsibility to our leaders, customers and to help build a better world.
At APi Group, our sustainability strategy continues to evolve as part of our commitment to building a business that protects lives, people, and assets, and supports our customers' goals. Our vision is to be the #1 people-first company with the #1 performance in our industry, driving growth, reducing risk, and enhancing shareholder value while creating positive impacts for all stakeholders.
The safety, health, and well-being of our teammates remains our #1 value. This year, we expanded our defensive driving programs, continued to add dash cameras to our vehicles, and expanded mental health initiatives to support our team. I am proud to say that over 12,000 teammates participated in our Defensive Driving course.
We’ve made progress in understanding our environmental impact, and we are currently conducting a baseline exercise to inform our greenhouse gas reduction strategy. With improved data on real estate and fleet operations, we are better positioned to explore renewable energy, alternative fuels, and opportunities to reduce our carbon footprint where it makes sense for our business.
Our single biggest differentiator continues to be the investment that we make in our people. Through our purpose of Building Great Leaders, we invest in each of our teammates— from day one—as human beings. We aim to create an environment where all of our team members can thrive, and that helps us attract and retain talent that can drive long-term growth. We recognize that there is a gender imbalance in our industry, and we continue to address this through various programs in our businesses globally to attract more women into our industry. In the US, we are proud to help support and train military veterans and wounded warriors as they transition to civilian careers. It was encouraging that a majority of our Leadership Development Program participants were veterans this year.
I’m grateful for the progress we’ve made together, but I also know we can and will get better.
