In our last blog, we underlined the importance to our consumer and society at large of CSR. We went on to discuss a few ways in which Magenta Security is leading the industry, particularly in green technologies. This blog post is very much in the same vein and highlights some more of our green credentials as well as some of our community and global CSR projects. Let’s start with some more of our green policies. A longer term aim at […]
In this modern age of social media where word of mouth is both powerful and instantaneous, companies are continually striving to project a positive brand image through CSR initiatives. For some companies, it could be argued that this is merely placation, a reaction to what they think people want. For others, it’s part of the very fabric of their business and integral to their operation. Magenta is just such a business.
As a leader in the security industry, Magenta Security Services welcomed the announcement that from 6 April 2015, all regulated security businesses will need to hold an SIA business licence.

We have been saying this regulation has needed to be put in place for a long time now, not just for the benefit of professionals and the […]

We recently carried out a survey amongst our clients to ask them what was important to them. The results were extremely interesting. Eighty Five percent cited CSR as an important issue. They also said they would be more likely to choose a CSR focused supplier over one who didn’t take such issues seriously. CSR has always been an integral part of our business. But the results showed that our clients really value our approach to such an important issue. Magenta […]
Claiming to take care of the environment is an easy claim to make but is much harder to substantiate. Many companies say they are green but can they live up to their claims?

As a company, we’ve taken pioneering steps to improve our current and […]

In the second blog looking at environmental policies, Abbey Petkar, Managing Director of Magenta Security Services, explores how improvements in environmental credentials can be achieved. Instigating and driving green policies and procedures is not something that can be achieved over night. To begin company-wide understanding, commitment and support a top down approach to the objective is of paramount importance. Staff must be involved at all levels of the organisation and given the opportunity to ask questions and provide thoughts and […]

In the first of a two part blog, Abbey Petkar, managing director of Magenta Security Services, looks at the security industry’s green legacy. Being ‘green’ and environmentally friendly is now expected of companies, whatever industry they operate in. It is because an increasing number of clients have become much more aware of the need for sustainable resources and the effect pollution has on the environment. It’s reasonable to say that some security firms woke up to the green movement a […]
