UK: Stop GS4
G4S has become a target as the world’s largest private security company, covering a wide range of services including military, justice, police and welfare.
The War on Want campaign targeting G4S has been ongoing since 2014. As the War on Want mission is to fight against the root causes of poverty and human rights violation, G4S has become a target as the world’s largest private security company, covering a wide range of services including military, justice, police and welfare. The most controversial part of the company’s business with the UK government includes prison and immigration services, with the company’s role in the Palestine-Israel conflict supporting Israel occupation also becoming a highlight of the campaign. In 2016, despite the campaign and criticism of the company, G4S reneged on its promise to exit Israel.
