Shield Pest Control Proudly Becomes a Certified Avetta ESG Innovator

Here at Shield Pest Control, we are proud to be recognised as a leader in safety and sustainability, having been officially named a certified Avetta 2025 ESG Innovator. Awarded by global contractor risk platform Avetta, this recognition celebrates organisations that go beyond basic compliance and actively embed environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles into the way they operate. It reflects our ongoing commitment to responsible business practices that prioritise people, the environment, and long-term resilience.

For over fifty years, Shield Pest Control has worked to strengthen its ESG approach through sustainable operations and meaningful engagement within the communities we serve. We actively support local food banks and continue to contribute time through local volunteering initiatives, ensuring our impact extends beyond our core services. Alongside this, we have made significant progress in reducing our environmental footprint through waste reduction and by partnering with Planet Mark to track and reduce our annual carbon emissions against environmental KPIs.

Our commitment to ESG is equally reflected in how we support and protect our people. We comply fully with key UK health and safety regulations to safeguard our BPCA-qualified technicians, our customers, and the wider public. As a Royal Warrant holder, our technicians are trained to the highest professional standards and are trusted to work in sensitive environments, including government buildings and royal households. This trust reflects the quality of our service and the strong contribution we make to maintaining community confidence and public safety.

Daniel Steward, Managing Director, comments: “Becoming an Avetta ESG Innovator is a milestone we are extremely proud of at Shield Pest Control, as it recognises the standards we uphold every day across our business. While this achievement marks an important moment, it also reinforces our commitment to continuous improvement, and we look forward to working closely with our clients as we continue to deliver safe, sustainable, and trusted pest control services now and in the future.”
