In an age of rising environmental accountability, the construction and facilities management sectors are under pressure to reduce their carbon footprints not just in what they build, but in how they operate day-to-day. Yet one critical area often overlooked in the sustainability conversation is site security.
At Ascent Onsite Group, we’re challenging that norm. We believe security can be both robust and responsible and we’ve developed an integrated, eco-conscious approach that proves safety doesn’t have to come at the expense of sustainability.
Conventional site security setups, especially on temporary or high-risk locations, often involve:
These methods, while effective in terms of protection, carry significant environmental baggage from CO₂ emissions and noise pollution to high running costs and waste.
At Ascent, we've reimagined what secure, sustainable site protection looks like. Here's how we deliver low-carbon, high-efficiency security solutions:
We deploy solar-powered security towers that eliminate the need for diesel generators entirely. Equipped with advanced battery systems and high-efficiency solar panels, these towers operate independently day and night.
✅ Key Benefits:
These towers can detect unauthorised access, monitor activity in real-time, and send alerts to site managers—without consuming grid power or adding to your site’s carbon load.
We replace traditional halogen floodlights with LED systems paired with motion sensors. These only activate when movement is detected, ensuring that energy isn’t wasted during low-activity periods—especially overnight.
✅ Benefits:
When integrated into our mobile towers, this lighting setup ensures both visibility and sustainability.
While technology is a major part of modern security, human presence is still essential in many cases. We take steps to ensure our mobile patrols are as low-impact as possible:
This ensures that even mobile or manned services align with our clients’ environmental commitments.
Our security systems are cloud-connected, meaning:
By integrating systems, we reduce the environmental impact of operations while improving response times and data capture.
As clients across the UK face growing pressure to deliver on Net Zero 2050 targets, we’re proud to help them meet environmental, social, and governance (ESG) benchmarks through intelligent, sustainable service models.
Our green security approach:
Security is often viewed as a necessary cost but with the right sustainable approach, it can become a strategic advantage.
