The Aon Centre gains second Secured Environments award

Aon, a global professional services firm providing a broad range of risk, retirement and health solutions, has gained the prestigious Secured Environments award for The Aon Centre, their global headquarters, housed in the iconic Leadenhall Building in London.

The award, presented by the Commissioner of the City of London Police, Angela McLaren, recognises that Aon is following six key principles to maximise the safety of colleagues and visitors. It was achieved after a thorough audit of the company’s approach to security management at their headquarters, which included independent consultation with management, security officers and other colleagues.

The six key principles of the Secured Environment accreditation are a commitment by an organisation and its leadership to create a secure environment; an understanding of the security risks that it faces; the development of an effective response to reduce the risks to the organisation; a management plan to achieve its aims and objectives; the effective implementation of the security and crime prevention measures; and the monitoring and evaluation of the security and crime prevention measures.

Kevin Allchorne, Regional Head of Corporate Protection Services – UK, EMEA & APAC at Aon stated: “We are delighted at Aon that we have successfully retained the Secured Environments accreditation, for our global HQ in the City of London. It not only demonstrates the sustained focus and commitment on physical security from the very senior management level within our firm, it also reflects the continual time, effort and energy that my security management team dedicate, to ensure we maintain appropriate levels of security to protect our people, property and information.”

Guy Ferguson, Chief Executive Officer at Police Crime Prevention Initiatives, said: “I am pleased that the Aon Centre, a landmark building in the City of London, has achieved the Secured Environments award for a second time.

“Secured Environments is suitable for many types of organisations, regardless of their size, function and location. It offers accreditation for those that can evidence their commitment to good security. Every organisation can benefit from working to a framework that enables them to think through the security challenges they face and how best to manage them.”

Secured Environments is a police certification scheme which is awarded to organisations that are able to show that they have adopted six key principles for protecting themselves against crime.  Secured Environments locations include landmark buildings, shopping centres, Universities, halls of residence, hospitals, data centres and business premises.

Established in 2007, it provides a framework for managing and meeting the challenges faced, and it enables organisations to refine their approach and demonstrate that it is effective.  The aim is to help organisations to think about their risks and how to make the best use of measures they already have.

Secured Environments was developed through the partnership of Police Crime Prevention Initiatives and Perpetuity Research and Consultancy International Limited (PRCI), a specialist in crime, risk and security management.
