Corporate Social Responsibility

At Red Badge Group, we believe that corporate sustainability isn’t just a goal; it’s a fundamental part of who we are and how we operate. Our corporate responsibility strategy is built on three pillars: social responsibility, environmental responsibility, and economic responsibility. Here’s how we’re making a positive impact in each area:

Environmental Responsibility

Reducing Environmental Impact: We’re committed to minimising our impact on the environment by implementing various initiatives. This includes a uniform recycling program to reduce textile waste, retrofitting our offices with energy-efficient LED lighting, and transitioning to electric vehicles.

Encouraging Sustainable Practices: We promote remote work and alternative transportation options for our employees to reduce carbon emissions and environmental footprint.

Comprehensive Waste Management: Our comprehensive waste management plan ensures that we efficiently manage waste, including office recycling programs, to minimise landfill contributions.

Social Responsibility

Living Wage Commitment: We lead the way in the security industry by striving to pay a Living Wage to our staff.

Community Support: We actively support local charities and community initiatives, such as our partnership with Level Playing Field to provide opportunities for children to participate in sports regardless of their background. Checkout our latest charity event video below:

Creating Employment Opportunities: We prioritise creating quality employment opportunities for disadvantaged and under-represented communities. This includes partnering with organisations like MSD, Skills Gateway, Solomon Group, and SENZ.

Promoting Diversity and Inclusion: We believe that diversity leads to better business outcomes by fostering innovation, creativity, and a deeper understanding of our customers’ needs. By embracing diversity and inclusion, we create an environment where all employees feel empowered to contribute their unique perspectives and talents.

Economic Responsibility

Long-Term Stability: We prioritise long-term stability and growth by implementing cost-saving measures, optimising supply chain management, and engaging in transparent financial reporting to our Board.

Diversified Revenue Streams: Our diversified services, including Red Security, Awesome Events, and Red Badge Security, ensure consistent service delivery for our customers and long-term employment opportunities for our people.

At Red Badge Group, we understand that corporate sustainability is a journey, and we’re committed to continually improving our practices to drive positive change. By partnering with like-minded organisations and engaging our stakeholders, we aim to create a sustainable future for generations to come.

Our Sustainability Pathway

Being a sustainable business matters deeply to Red Badge Group. As a 100% New Zealand owned company, our roots are firmly planted in this land, and our commitment to caring for our people and our environment is unwavering. We recognize that the success of our business is intricately linked to the well-being of the New Zealand economy, the local environment, and the communities in which we operate.

At Red Badge, we see sustainability as more than just a buzzword—it’s a fundamental part of who we are and what we stand for. That’s why, following a management buyout a few years ago, our new owners have elevated our aspirations and set ambitious sustainability targets that guide our every decision and action.
