BDS-1000 Dossier: G4S plc / Allied Universal

Dossier ID: 06-G4S
Classification: Public — Forensic Dossier
Version: V4 (Final, Human-Vetted)
Date: 2025

Target Profile

Executive Summary

G4S is the world’s largest security services company by revenue, operating in 85 countries with a workforce exceeding 800,000. Its documented involvement with Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory is the most extensively civil-society-documented of any Western multinational security firm, spanning over a decade of direct operational contracts with the Israeli Prison Service, the Israeli Border Police, and the Israeli Defense Forces’ West Bank checkpoint infrastructure. The primary vectors of complicity were the provision of guarding, surveillance technology, and physical security infrastructure at facilities used to detain Palestinian political prisoners, and the operation of scanning and access-control equipment at military checkpoints regulating Palestinian civilian movement in the occupied West Bank. These operations constituted direct logistical sustainment of Israel’s military-adjacent security apparatus in the occupied territory.

The company’s strongest documented vectors are economic and political: G4S derived substantial commercial revenue from Israeli state security contracts, embedded itself in settlement-linked industrial and commercial infrastructure, and resisted external accountability mechanisms—most notably declining to engage mediation following an adverse UK National Contact Point finding of breach of OECD Guidelines in 2015. The resulting UK NCP follow-up in 2016 found G4S had not implemented two of three specific recommendations. The Norwegian Government Pension Fund Global excluded G4S in 2019 (based on Gulf migrant-worker concerns), and a coordinated BDS campaign achieved documented institutional divestments from multiple UK and Irish pension funds, universities, and the United Methodist Church.

What is not supported by the evidence: G4S was not a manufacturer of weapons, munitions, or military platforms. No public evidence identifies G4S or Allied Universal as a direct supplier to Israeli defense primes for weapons systems integration. The company’s Israeli subsidiary was sold in 2017, and the remaining Policity stake was divested in 2023. The dual-use technology supply relationship through Allied Universal’s AMAG subsidiary operates through third-party distributor channels rather than direct G4S/Allied Universal procurement relationships. No direct involvement in Project Nimbus, Israeli cloud infrastructure, or intelligence/AI systems for Israeli military bodies has been documented.

The final BDS-1000 score reflects these documented but partially-divested vectors. V-ECON drives V_MAX at 4.29, reflecting the scale and directness of economic involvement during the 2000–2017 operational period, including settlement-linked services and the retained Policity stake. The overall BRS of 329 places G4S at Tier D (Moderate), a ranking that acknowledges the breadth of civil-society documentation and the company’s sustained resistance to accountability, while crediting the partial divestments that have materially reduced the active operational footprint.

Timeline of Relevant Events

Corporate Overview

Group Structure

G4S plc was incorporated in the United Kingdom (Companies House number 04992207) and was formed through the 2004 merger of Group 4 Falck (Danish-UK origin) and Securicor (UK origin)[^V-ECON-15]. The company was listed on the London Stock Exchange (primary) and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (secondary) prior to its 2021 acquisition by Allied Universal. G4S was not founded in Israel and had no Israeli-origin corporate identity. The legacy G4S corporate charter defined the primary purpose as commercial provision of integrated security services globally, with no mandate to advance the geopolitical interests of any state[^V-POL-15].

Allied Universal, headquartered in Santa Ana, California, acquired G4S plc on May 17, 2021. Allied Universal is controlled by Warburg Pincus (approximately one-third ownership) and CDPQ (Canada’s second-largest pension fund, approximately 40% stake as of 2019, now approximately 28%)[^V-ECON-13][^V-ECON-15]. G4S now operates as a brand and division within Allied Universal.

Former Israeli Subsidiary

G4S Israel Ltd (trading as G4S Secure Solutions Israel) was a wholly-owned subsidiary established to serve the Israeli commercial and government security market, with an operational period spanning approximately 2000 to 2017. The subsidiary was sold to FIMI Opportunity Funds (an Israeli private equity fund) in a transaction completed June 29, 2017 for approximately NIS 425 million (£88 million)[^V-MIL-1][^V-MIL-22]. The subsidiary was rebranded as G1 Secure Solutions and became independently traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange under ticker GOSS, reporting approximately 964.6 million ILS ($250 million USD) in revenue for fiscal year 2024 with 5,369 employees[^V-DIG-6][^V-ECON-6].

In January 2024, FIMI sold its controlling stake in G1 Secure Solutions to Universal Motors Israel (UMI) for NIS 200 million[^V-DIG-8].

Retained Interests and Successor Relationships

Policity Ltd: G4S Holdings (B) B.V held a 25% stake in Policity Ltd, the consortium that designed, built, financed, and operates the Israeli National Police Academy in Beit Shemesh under a 25-year Private Finance Initiative (PFI/DBFO) concession. The consortium comprised Shikun & Binui (50%), G1 Secure Solutions (25%), and G4S/Allied Universal (25%)[^V-MIL-2][^V-MIL-7]. The National Police Academy trains Israeli Police and Border Police (Magav), a paramilitary force operational in the West Bank. In May/June 2023, Allied Universal announced the sale of its 25% stake to G1 Secure Solutions; as of mid-2023, the transaction remained pending Israeli government and bank approval[^V-MIL-6][^V-MIL-7]. Allied Universal stated in June 2023 that this sale represents full divestment from Israeli operations[^V-DIG-9].

AMAG Technology (Allied Universal): AMAG Technology, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allied Universal acquired as part of the G4S portfolio in 2021, manufactures the Symmetry™ Security Management System combining access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection, and identity management[^V-MIL-19]. AMAG Symmetry SR Retrofit System is deployed at Israeli detention facilities including Ofer Prison, documented by Yale Daily News reporting on student activist campaigns[^V-MIL-11]. G1 Secure Solutions operates as an authorized distributor of AMAG Symmetry products for its Israeli client base[^V-MIL-2][^V-MIL-11].

Allied Universal Electronic Monitoring International Ltd.: Allied Universal maintains a registered Israeli company (number 511951444) at Habarzel 2 Street, Tel Aviv 6971002, handling international sales and government contracts for electronic monitoring services[^V-ECON-5][^V-ECON-14]. Allied Universal acquired Attenti Group (Israeli-founded, Tel Aviv origin, electronic monitoring for offender tracking in 30 countries) in April 2022[^V-DIG-7]; however, Attenti does not currently hold contracts with the Israeli Prison Service—the IPS electronic monitoring contract was awarded to SuperCom in October 2024[^V-DIG-18][^V-MIL-16].

No Israeli State Ownership

No Israeli state entity or Israeli-domiciled institution held a material disclosed ownership stake in G4S plc or Allied Universal. No golden share mechanisms, government board appointees, or state-directed charter provisions have been identified in reviewed corporate governance documents[^V-ECON-1][^V-POL-15].

Domain Summaries

V-MIL: Military

Mechanism of Involvement

G4S Israel’s documented military-adjacent operations constituted direct logistical sustainment of Israeli state security infrastructure in the occupied West Bank. The primary mechanisms were:

1. Prison Security and Facility Management: G4S Israel held contracts with the Israeli Prison Service (IPS) providing guarding, facility management, and maintenance services at IPS facilities including Ofer Military Prison (occupied West Bank), Rimonim Prison, Damon Prison, Eshel Prison, and Gilboa Prison[^V-MIL-17]. G4S Israel installed and operated wall-mounted perimeter detection systems and a central security control room at Ofer Military Prison, in addition to providing uniformed guarding[^V-MIL-17]. IPS contracts totaled approximately NIS 11.5 million in 2016 alone, including integrated management systems at Ofer, Megiddo, Ketziot, and Shata prisons[^V-DIG-1].

2. Checkpoint Operations: G4S Israel provided security services at Israeli military checkpoints in the West Bank, including operation of scanning and access-control equipment regulating Palestinian civilian movement[^V-MIL-17]. G4S Israel provided Rapiscan and L-3 Safeview full-body scanners and luggage scanning equipment to West Bank military checkpoints including Qalandia, Bethlehem, Irtah (Sha’ar Efraim), and Erez[^V-POL-13]. G1 Secure Solutions maintained nine Rapiscan metal gates at ICA checkpoints from 2008–2018[^V-DIG-1]. The Israeli Defense Ministry confirmed to Who Profits in 2012 that “G4S is one of the companies that provides inspection services and scanning equipment to all the Israeli checkpoints along the separation wall”[^V-POL-13].

3. Settlement Security Infrastructure: G4S Israel provided physical security infrastructure—including patrol vehicles, scanning equipment, perimeter detection systems, and static guarding posts—at Israeli military checkpoints in the West Bank and at Israeli settlements including Ma’ale Adumim, Modi’in Illit, and Har Adar[^V-MIL-17].

4. Policity PFI — National Police Academy: Through the 25% equity stake in Policity Ltd, G4S/Allied Universal maintained a sustained financial interest in the 25-year PFI concession for the Israeli National Police Academy in Beit Shemesh, a facility that trains Israeli Police and Border Police (Magav), a paramilitary force operational in the West Bank[^V-MIL-17][^V-MIL-7].

Counter-Arguments and Evidence Limits

The company’s strongest defenses and the evidence limits are as follows:

Divestment: G4S completed the sale of G4S Secure Solutions Israel to FIMI Opportunity Funds in June 2017, exiting the prison, checkpoint, and settlement security operations directly. Following this sale, the IPS and checkpoint contracts transferred to G1 Secure Solutions; no verified post-2017 prime contracts between G4S/Allied Universal and the Israeli Ministry of Defence, IDF, or IPS in their own names have been identified in public records[^V-MIL-2][^V-MIL-15].

Policity Divestment: Allied Universal announced the sale of its 25% Policity stake to G1 Secure Solutions in May/June 2023, pending regulatory approval, and stated this represents full divestment from Israeli operations[^V-DIG-9].

Civilian Character of Operations: G4S’s security services are not weapons, munitions, or lethal platforms. G4S’s core business—guarding, access control, surveillance, facilities management—is structurally similar whether deployed at a commercial office building or a military prison. The company could argue that its technology and services are commercially neutral, and that the military-adjacent character derives from end-user context rather than product specification.

AMAG Technology — Third-Party Channel: AMAG Symmetry is a commercial access-control product marketed for government, healthcare, education, and commercial use. The deployment at Israeli detention facilities occurs through a G1 Secure Solutions distributor relationship rather than direct Allied Universal procurement. No publicly available documentation distinguishes a separately specified “military variant” from the standard commercial product; the dual-use character arises from deployment context rather than differentiated product specifications[^V-MIL-11].

Absence of Weapons/Munitions Involvement: No public evidence identifies G4S or Allied Universal as a prime contractor or licensed manufacturer of small arms, crew-served weapons, armoured vehicles, tactical drones, naval vessels, guided munitions, or any other lethal platform. No involvement in Iron Dome, David’s Sling, Arrow, fighter aircraft, main battle tanks, or naval vessels has been documented[^V-MIL-2].

Export Licensing Gap: No public evidence identified of any government authority formally granting, denying, suspending, or revoking export licences specifically for G4S or Allied Universal products destined for Israeli military or security end-users[^V-MIL-2].

Named Entities and Evidence Map

V-DIG: Digital

Mechanism of Involvement

The digital involvement vectors for G4S/Allied Universal are primarily through technology supply chains and technology partnerships, rather than direct digital service provision:

1. AMAG Symmetry Access Control at Israeli Detention Facilities: AMAG Technology, a wholly-owned Allied Universal subsidiary, manufactures the Symmetry™ Security Management System combining access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection, and identity management[^V-MIL-19]. AMAG Symmetry is marketed as “federal-grade” with documented FICAM compliance and FIPS 201 US government PIV requirements—prerequisites for deployment in high-security government and defence environments[^V-MIL-19][^V-MIL-20]. The Symmetry SR Retrofit System is deployed at Israeli detention facilities including Ofer Prison, documented by Yale Daily News reporting on student activist campaigns citing this deployment as grounds for contract cancellation[^V-MIL-11]. G1 Secure Solutions operates as an authorized distributor of AMAG Symmetry products for its Israeli client base, constituting a commercial revenue stream from supply of access-control technology reaching Israeli prison and security infrastructure[^V-MIL-2][^V-MIL-11].

2. Attenti Acquisition: Allied Universal acquired Attenti Group (Israeli-founded, Tel Aviv origin) in April 2022 from 3M[^V-DIG-7]. Attenti provides GPS and RF electronic monitoring for offender tracking in 30 countries. However, Attenti does not currently hold contracts with the Israeli Prison Service—the IPS electronic monitoring contract was awarded to SuperCom in October 2024[^V-DIG-18][^V-MIL-16].

3. Intellicene–Oosto Partnership: Allied Universal’s Intellicene (situation management platform) announced a strategic partnership with Oosto (formerly AnyVision) in November 2023 to integrate Oosto’s facial recognition technology into Intellicene’s Symphia product suite[^V-DIG-10]. Oosto/AnyVision’s technology has been previously documented as the engine behind the Israeli military’s “Blue Wolf” programme and the “Better Tomorrow” CCTV surveillance grid in the West Bank[^V-DIG-17]. This partnership is a vendor-to-vendor relationship rather than a direct Allied Universal procurement relationship.

4. HELIAUS AI Platform: Allied Universal’s proprietary HELIAUS platform combines AI/ML for workforce deployment optimization, incident prediction, and video analytics integration in civilian commercial contexts[^V-DIG-4]. No evidence confirms integration with Israeli facial recognition vendors or specific video analytics providers. No evidence that HELIAUS has been sold to or deployed by Israeli military, security, or intelligence agencies.

Counter-Arguments and Evidence Limits

No Direct Procurement Relationship (Oosto/AnyVision): The Intellicene–Oosto partnership is a vendor-to-vendor arrangement; Allied Universal does not directly procure Oosto technology for its own service delivery. This limits the directness of complicity.

No Israeli Government Digital Contracts: No public evidence identified establishes formal licensing, subscription, or strategic partnership agreements between G4S, Allied Universal, or their subsidiaries and any named Israeli-origin cybersecurity vendor (Check Point, CyberArk, SentinelOne, Wiz, Claroty, Palo Alto Networks) as direct customers[^V-DIG-1][^V-DIG-2][^V-DIG-3].

No AI/ML Systems to Israeli State Bodies: No public evidence identified of G4S or Allied Universal providing AI, machine learning, computer vision, or autonomous decision-support systems specifically to Israeli state, military, or security bodies[^V-DIG-1][^V-DIG-2][^V-DIG-3].

No R&D Facilities in Israel: G4S Israel was an operational security services subsidiary, not a technology or R&D centre. No R&D facilities, software engineering offices, or innovation laboratories within Israel have been identified[^V-DIG-1][^V-DIG-2].

No Participation in Project Nimbus: G4S and Allied Universal are not cloud service providers; no participation in Project Nimbus (the Israeli government cloud services contract awarded to Google Cloud and AWS) has been documented[^V-DIG-5].

Attenti — No IPS Contract: Despite acquiring Israeli-founded Attenti in 2022, Allied Universal does not hold current electronic monitoring contracts with Israeli Prison Service—the IPS contract was awarded to SuperCom in October 2024[^V-DIG-18].

Named Entities and Evidence Map

V-ECON: Economic

Mechanism of Involvement

G4S’s economic involvement with Israeli state security institutions was substantial, sustained, and well-documented over a 17-year operational period:

1. Direct Government Security Contracts: G4S Israel held contracts with the Israeli Prison Service for management and security at facilities holding Palestinian political detainees—Megiddo Prison, Ketziot Prison, Ofer Prison, Kishon Prison, and Moskobiyyeh Prison[^V-POL-5][^V-POL-13]. G4S Israel provided Rapiscan and L-3 Safeview full-body scanners to West Bank military checkpoints including Qalandia, Bethlehem, Irtah, and Erez[^V-POL-13]. IPS contracts totaled approximately NIS 11.5 million in 2016 alone, including integrated management systems at four major prisons[^V-DIG-1]. G4S Israel’s revenue exceeded $190 million in 2014, making it commercially significant within Israel’s private security sector[^V-ECON-1][^V-ECON-2].

2. Settlement-Linked Commercial Activity: G4S Israel provided security systems to businesses and settlement-associated industrial zones in the West Bank, including Ma’ale Adumim, Modi’in Illit, Kalia, Barkan industrial zone, Atarot, and Har Adar[^V-POL-13][^V-DIG-1]. G1 Secure Solutions (successor entity) continues providing security services to Israeli settlements and the Israeli Prison Service as of 2024, with revenue of approximately 964.6 million ILS (~$250 million USD)[^V-DIG-6][^V-ECON-6].

3. Retained Economic Interest — Policity PFI: The 25% equity stake in the Policity consortium (National Police Academy, 25-year PFI concession) represented a sustained economic interest in Israeli state security training infrastructure through June 2023. G4S’s participation in this consortium ran from approximately 2008 through June 2023, with Allied Universal’s announced divestment remaining pending regulatory approval as of mid-2023[^V-ECON-4][^V-POL-5].

4. AMAG Technology Revenue Stream: Allied Universal’s subsidiary AMAG Technology supplies Symmetry access-control products through G1 Secure Solutions as authorized distributor to Israeli prison and security infrastructure, constituting a commercial revenue stream from the Israeli state security market that persists post-2021 acquisition[^V-MIL-2][^V-MIL-11].

5. Profit Flows: As a wholly-owned subsidiary of a UK-listed parent company, profits generated by G4S Israel Ltd flowed upward to G4S plc (UK-domiciled). Following the 2021 acquisition, legacy G4S subsidiary profit flows route to Allied Universal (US-domiciled)[^V-ECON-1].

Counter-Arguments and Evidence Limits

Divestment from Israeli Operations: G4S completed the sale of its Israeli subsidiary (G4S Secure Solutions Israel) to FIMI Opportunity Funds in June 2017 for approximately NIS 425 million (~£88 million), representing a full exit from the direct operational contracts with IPS, checkpoint operators, and settlement clients[^V-MIL-1][^V-MIL-22].

Policity Divestment Announced: Allied Universal announced the sale of its 25% Policity stake to G1 Secure Solutions in May/June 2023, characterizing this as full divestment from Israeli operations[^V-DIG-9]. As of mid-2023, the transaction remained pending Israeli government and bank approval.

No Israeli Sovereign Bonds or Israeli-Domiciled Equity: No evidence indicates that G4S plc or Allied Universal hold Israeli sovereign bonds, Israeli-domiciled equity stakes, or Israel-focused investment funds in disclosed portfolio or treasury holdings[^V-ECON-1].

No Foundational Ties: G4S was not founded in Israel, has no Israeli-origin corporate identity, and no Israeli state ownership stake has been identified in any reviewed source[^V-ECON-1][^V-POL-15].

Service-Sector Business Model: G4S does not import, distribute, or retail physical goods; traditional supply chain analysis for consumer products is structurally inapplicable to its business model. No commercial relationships with Israeli agricultural exporters, produce aggregators, or analogous supply-chain counterparties have been identified[^V-ECON-1].

Attenti — No IPS Revenue: The Israeli-founded Attenti Group, acquired in 2022, does not currently hold IPS electronic monitoring contracts; that contract was awarded to SuperCom in October 2024[^V-DIG-18].

Named Entities and Evidence Map

V-POL: Political

Mechanism of Involvement

G4S’s political involvement vectors are characterized by absence of counter-speech, resistance to accountability mechanisms, and legacy brand positioning within Israeli state security culture:

1. Silence on Israel’s Occupation: G4S issued no public statement specifically condemning or endorsing any party in the Israel-Palestine conflict throughout its independent existence (2012–2021)[^V-POL-15]. The company’s standard public position framed Israeli operations as a “standard market operation” governed by local law and Group human rights standards[^V-POL-15]. No public evidence identified of corporate statements on Palestinian civilian harm during periods of active conflict. The company maintained comparative silence on Israel-Palestine without drawing parallels to other geopolitical contexts such as Ukraine, Russia, or domestic social justice movements[^V-POL-15].

2. Resistance to Accountability Mechanisms: Following a UK National Contact Point complaint filed by Lawyers for Palestinian Human Rights, the UK NCP issued a Final Statement in March 2015 finding G4S in breach of OECD Guidelines Chapter IV, Paragraph 3—obligations related to addressing impacts linked by business relationship[^V-MIL-3][^V-POL-1][^V-POL-11]. G4S declined mediation. The UK NCP Follow-Up Statement in July 2016 found G4S had not implemented two of three specific NCP recommendations: working with business partners to address adverse impacts, and communicating actions to stakeholders[^V-POL-2]. This sustained non-engagement with accountability mechanisms distinguishes G4S from companies that entered mediation or made public commitments.

3. Explicit Rejection of BDS Context: CEO Ashley Almanza explicitly denied BDS as a causal factor in the 2016 exit announcement: “This has nothing to do with BDS”[^V-POL-8][^V-POL-9]. This framing positioned the company as resistant to the legitimacy of BDS pressure rather than acknowledging the human rights concerns underlying it.

4. Brand Heritage and State Security Positioning: G4S corporate branding prominently featured government and defense credentials, describing itself as a leading global provider of “integrated security solutions” to governments, militaries, and critical national infrastructure operators[^V-POL-15]. G4S Israel marketing materials positioned the subsidiary as a trusted partner to Israeli state security infrastructure, with references to IPS and state-facility contracts forming part of commercial credentials[^V-POL-15].

5. UN Special Rapporteur Identification: UN Special Rapporteur Richard Falk identified G4S in October 2012 and 2013 reports to the UN Human Rights Council as a company that should be boycotted for involvement in Israeli settlements[^V-POL-3].

6. Settlement-Linked Operations: G4S Israel provided security systems to businesses and settlement-associated industrial zones in the West Bank, including Ma’ale Adumim, Modi’in Illit, Kalia, Barkan industrial zone, Atarot, and Har Adar. G4S Israel contracts with the Israeli Civil Administration were renewed through 2017 and 2018 for checkpoint equipment maintenance at West Bank District Coordination Liaisons[^V-POL-13].

Counter-Arguments and Evidence Limits

Divestment from Israeli Operations: G4S completed the sale of G4S Secure Solutions Israel to FIMI in June 2017, exiting direct operational contracts. Allied Universal announced the Policity divestment in May/June 2023[^V-MIL-6][^V-MIL-7][^V-DIG-9].

Absence of Lobbying: No public evidence identified of G4S engaging in lobbying activities specifically related to Israel-Palestine regional policy, BDS-related legislation, or trade sanctions regimes[^V-POL-15].

Absence of Executive Footprint: No public evidence identified of G4S CEO, founder-era executives, or majority shareholders making personal donations or operating family foundations with grants to Israeli regional advocacy groups, settlement organizations, or military-welfare funds[^V-POL-15].

Absence of Brand Israel Participation: No public evidence identified of G4S accepting Israeli state honors, hosting Israeli government officials in formal non-commercial partnership capacity, or sponsoring “Brand Israel” public diplomacy initiatives[^V-POL-15].

UN OHCHR Database Exclusion: G4S was not included in the UN OHCHR database of business enterprises involved in Israeli settlement activity in its 2020, 2023, and 2025 iterations; OHCHR cited “corporate restructuring” (sale to FIMI) as rationale[^V-POL-4][^V-MIL-4]. LPHR disputed this as premature given the retained Policity stake at the time of the 2020 and 2023 database publications[^V-POL-4].

No IDF/Military Lobbying: No evidence identified of G4S engaging in lobbying to advance Israeli military interests or occupation policy.

BDS-1000 Score (V4)

Score Table (Verbatim)

• V_MAX: 4.29 Sum_OTHERS: 4.89
• BRS Score: 329 Tier: D (Moderate)

Score Interpretation

V_MAX is driven by V-ECON at 4.29, reflecting the scale (commercial significance of Israeli operations; $190M+ revenue; 17-year operational period), the directness (wholly-owned subsidiary model; direct IPS and checkpoint government contracts), and the structural economic integration of G4S Israel into Israeli state security infrastructure. The settlement-linked commercial activity and the retained Policity stake—representing an ongoing financial interest in Israeli Border Police training—compound the economic vector. The tier of D (Moderate) reflects the breadth of documented civil-society investigation, the company’s sustained resistance to accountability mechanisms (UK NCP non-engagement), and the post-divestment reduction in active operational footprint, balanced against the persistence of indirect technology supply relationships through Allied Universal’s AMAG subsidiary and the ongoing role of successor entity G1 Secure Solutions.

Methodological Note

The V4 scoring framework applies scale-free Impact scores (I = activity type severity), Magnitude scores (M = scale/scope), and Proximity scores (P = directness of involvement) to generate domain-specific vulnerability scores (V = I × M × P / 100). All scores are evidence-only, drawn from the four domain audits, and reflect human-vetted determinations. The BRS aggregates domain scores to a 0–1,000 scale; Tier D (Moderate) reflects documented involvement that is material but partially reduced by divestments and the absence of weapons/munitions involvement.

Methodology Note

• Evidence-only basis: All factual claims in this dossier trace directly to the four domain audits (V-MIL, V-DIG, V-ECON, V-POL). No unverified allegations, media speculation, or circumstantial inference are presented as established facts. Where audits found nothing, this dossier states “No public evidence identified” rather than asserting absence.
• Scale-free Impact = activity type: Impact scores capture the nature and severity of the activity (weapons manufacturing rates highest; commercial services lower), not the scale of the operation. A company providing checkpoint scanning equipment receives a lower Impact score than one supplying drone guidance systems, regardless of contract value.
• M = scale, P = directness: Magnitude captures the commercial or operational scale of involvement; Proximity captures how directly the company’s actions connect to the harm—direct contractual provision rates higher than indirect supply-chain or financing exposure.
• Temporal rule — divestment/exit: Where a company has demonstrably exited an operation (sale completed, contract terminated), subsequent events are attributed to successor entities unless the company retains an ongoing financial interest. G4S Israel’s sale to FIMI (2017) and the announced Policity divestment (2023) are credited as reducing active involvement.
• Entity attribution — no transitive guilt: Subsidiaries, franchises, and authorized distributors are assessed as distinct corporate entities. G4S/Allied Universal is assessed for its own actions; G1 Secure Solutions is documented as a successor entity and current operator. AMAG technology deployment at Israeli facilities is attributed to the commercial relationship between AMAG (Allied Universal subsidiary) and G1 (authorized distributor), constituting an indirect supply route.
• Settlement operations dual-count: Security services and infrastructure provided within Israeli settlements (beyond the 1967 Green Line) contribute to both V-ECON (economic vector — commercial relationship with settlement entities) and V-POL (political vector — support for internationally illegal settlement infrastructure). This reflects the dual character of settlement involvement as both economic extraction and political normalisation.
• “No public evidence identified” standard: This phrase is used where checks of available sources (corporate disclosures, NGO reports, government databases, trade press, academic literature, court records) found nothing. It does not assert that no evidence exists in classified, proprietary, or undiscovered sources—only that nothing emerged from the documented research process.
