SECURITY AWARDS Corps Security has won the Charity and/or Wellbeing Initiative Award at the British Security Awards, in recognition of its wide-ranging commitment to veteran welfare and employee wellbeing.

With more than 290 members and an auto-enrolment scheme for veteran colleagues, the CVA provides safe spaces to connect, share experiences and access specialist support. Its social events, remembrance activities and partnerships with cadet forces contribute to a strong sense of belonging and purpose beyond the workplace.
Central to the CVA's charitable work is its partnership with Combat Stress, the UK's leading veteran mental health charity. Corps Security has donated close to £90,000 to the charity to date, with further long-term funding secured through its voluntary 1% contract donation scheme, which now generates more than £45,000 per year.
markets face mounting duplication risks, higher compliance costs and growing administrative burdens, particularly around chemical registrations, packaging reporting and product sustainability data.
The report encourages manufacturers and distributors to begin preparing now by auditing product portfolios for high-risk substances, reviewing exposure to Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) fees, strengthening supplier engagement and building robust environmental data systems. The CHSA says companies that view compliance as a strategic investment rather than a reactive cost will be best placed to protect margins, maintain market access and build resilience.
