2 Securitas Argentina
Securitas Argentina 3 Institutional letter Words from the Country President Christian Faría Country President Securitas Argentina This fifth Corporate Social Responsibility Report is part of a continuous process we carry on guided by the cornerstones of our Road to Follow : committed employees, loyal clients and sustainable profits. All our actions during 2013 were focused on this vision since all sustainability efforts of the Company were aimed at strengthening these three business' cornerstones and at improving employability conditions, operations' excellence and ethical standards. Among some of the achievements we point out in this edition we can mention the consolidation of the new Security solution model of Securitas Argentina with a strong technological component through the completion of the process to integrate two new companies, Trailback and Fuego Red, which allows us being closer to our clients and offering them cutting edge security solutions tailored to their needs. We continue focusing on our employees, extending the education offer so as to give them opportunities to receive training and to spread out their potential. Having qualified personnel allows us offering better services to all our wide range of clients, incorporating competitive technology and adapting our business offer to answer all their needs. In alignment with a global responsible management, we are working to foster sensitivity, training and knowledge of the Values and Ethics Code, through mandatory courses for all our employees available in our e-learning platform. During 2013 the Defensor del Empleado [Ombudsman], a channel to solve queries and complaints from our employees not solved through the line of command that ensures confidentiality and fair solutions of such claims, continued to grow. This communication channel is framed within the global tool SIL (Securitas Integrity Line) that also makes it possible to receive claims on defaults on the Code of Conduct. As challenge for the following year, we intend to go into details about innovation and advances of technological tools to offer solutions tailored to the needs of each client. We are convinced that our contribution to the industry is to share our knowledge as global Company in order to improve the development of the Private Security sector in our country; therefore, we intend to continue creating value with sustainability as the strategic cornerstone of our Company.
