SGA Security Kenya Recognised as a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Champion at the ESG Awards

SGA Security Kenya has been recognised for its leadership in social sustainability at the 3rd Kenya ESG Awards, where it was honoured with the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Champion Award. The recognition underscores the company’s role in advancing inclusive practices within the private security sector. The award celebrates organisations that are embedding Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles into their operations in a meaningful and measurable way. It highlights SGA Security’s strong performance under the ‘Social’ pillar of ESG, particularly its success in dismantling gender barriers in a traditionally male-dominated industry. Operating in a sector traditionally dominated by men, SGA Security has taken deliberate steps to dismantle long-standing gender barriers and create pathways for women to not only enter the sector, but to thrive within it. “Our approach to inclusion goes beyond representation. We are focused on building systems and policies that support equity, safety, and long-term career growth for our workforce. This includes flexible work arrangements designed to support working mothers, a zero-tolerance framework on harassment and discrimination, and structured leadership development programmes tailored to female personnel. By embedding these measures into our organisational culture, inclusion is treated not as an initiative, but as a core business practice,” said SGA Security Group ESG and Communications Manager Josephine Wanjiru. This holistic focus on the “Social” pillar of ESG has positioned SGA Security as a benchmark for inclusive growth, demonstrating how strong governance and intentional policy design can drive cultural change. The company’s model shows that social responsibility and operational excellence are not mutually exclusive but mutually reinforcing. The DEI Champion award places SGA Security Kenya among a growing group of organisations redefining responsible business leadership in East Africa. As conversations around ESG continue to gain momentum across the region, SGA Security’s recognition serves as a reminder that meaningful progress begins with people-centred policies and a commitment to equity at every level of the organisation.
