“Through our work promoting the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights in the mining sector in DRC, we have gradually come to understand the important role private security plays, especially as it interacts with public security forces. ICoCA provides us the opportunity for learning and sharing knowledge on private security governance.”

“The feeling of being valued and included, makes our employees feel like part of the team. At Al-Murabit we have a culture of equality in line with ICoCA’s Code; this isn’t simply the right thing to do, it is also the smart thing. Being a diverse company ensures we are innovative and better positions to move with the times. Our diverse culture is our identity!”

“The Code and the Association have provided us with the necessary tools, experiences and opportunities for exchange that are essential to do positive work on such a complex issue as security and human rights. We use its concepts and practices to contribute to the relationship between extractive companies and private security providers, as well as  the national police and civil society. It has served to guide the national entity in charge of regulating private security in Peru. “

“When the Myanmar Centre for Responsible Business embarked on the first ever baseline study of the private security industry in Myanmar, the work of ICoCA was very useful to us, and we were able to draw on the experience of similar studies conducted by ICoCA Civil Society Members in other countries. In our recommendations to companies, we were also able to reference the relevant parts of the Code, and also ICoCA’s guidance for its company Members on issues such as conducting human rights impact assessments, and prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse. This gave our recommendations more credibility within the industry.”

“As the first Nigerian Security Company to achieve full certification from the ICoCA, we have embarked on a transformative journey centred on strengthening compliance with human rights, in alignment with the organisation’s mission. The invaluable engagement and training sessions have played a pivotal role in shaping our workforce and reinforcing the alignment of our security operations with the highest standards of integrity and human rights principles, thereby instilling confidence in our clients both locally and globally.”

“Our membership and continued engagement with ICoCA is integral to our broader initiatives to create better governance, compliance and accountability. At Insight we are committed to excellence and high standards in everything we do. Our membership in ICoCA drives our employee engagement; we are committed to our employees in fair treatment, codes of conduct, payment of a living wage and compliance with the Code, principles and standards.”

“Membership of ICoCA is, amongst the other merits, a declaration of conformity with the goals of sustainability and human rights. This has been highly appreciated by our corporate clients, especially those that are public owned. We have also undertaken to propose reference to these principles in the Technical Committee that is developing ISO 31030 Travel Risk Management.”

“ICoCA has been a game-changer for our organisation, leaving a profound impact in the international security community. It provides our clients and partners with the assurance that we adhere to the strictest ethical and operational standards, allowing us to stand out among other companies and gain a competitive advantage. By incorporating ICoCA principles into our daily operations, we have further solidified our ethical identity, moving beyond mere compliance to making these principles an integral part of our organizational culture.”

“Through the internationally recognised regulations and principles from ICoCA, Hanwei International Security Services Co, Ltd. have further made our security techniques and security services more normative and more in line with the international security reality and demands, which have won us a lot of improvements and praises from our clients. We extend our sincere appreciation and heartfelt respect to ICoCA. “

“Keen and Care Initiative (KCI) Nigeria is proud to be a Member of ICoCA. We believe in ICoCA’s mission. Our membership in ICoCA has made us work better and with more focus. As Members we now have access to relevant documents and useful information to make progress on these issues along with connections to likeminded  organisations working on these issues around the world.”

“Our membership was motivated by the need for greater access to documentary resources on the implementation of the Voluntary Principles. Membership of ICoCA has further strengthened our role as a major player in the implementation of the International Code of Conduct in DRC and our affirmation as an actor working for the improvement of private security governance through monitoring, complaints management and victim support.”

“ICoCA has provided us with the necessary resources, tools and opportunities to carry out positive work in such an environment as security and human rights. With their guidance and support, we have implemented more robust internal policies company wide. Whilst still a relatively new company in Iraq, we are showing that we are complying with the regulations and strict laws which respects human rights and protects the interest of our clients. By becoming part of the organisation, ICoCA has recognised Sentinels efforts to maintain its high standards and best practices. We are proud to have become affiliated with ICoCA.”

“SRS continuous engagement and membership in ICoCA is an important component when fulfilling our commitment to human rights as well our key stakeholders’ expectations of a strategic security partner providing global services.“

ICoCA provides essential and valuable guidance for both its members and their clients and Control Risks is proud to have been a founding contributor and long standing member.”
