About us - What is the Green Cleaning?
Our Mission
|
Green Cleaning is the effective and efficient use of products and services that reduce the health and environmental impacts compared to similar products and services used for the same purpose. Green Cleaning is a platform that can be used to transform the industry from its current focus on cost and appearances to one that focuses on protecting human health while creating a more sustainable future for all.Our Strategy
- Develop strategies, standards, certifications, credentials, training and other programs that touch all parts of the cleaning industry including cleaning personnel, service providers, product manufacturers, distributors, facility managers and other purchasers.
- Move the global cleaning industry beyond just the use of Green products towards becoming greener and more sustainable companies themselves
- Mentor the next generation of leaders in the cleaning industry.
Our Approach
• Programs must consider the needs of local markets. While every country shares the goal to protect human health and the environment, but the current status of the local cleaning industry may vary significantly. Thus programs shall be based on a global framework and tailored to the specific needs of the local industry allowing each to advance towards the goal at their pace.
• Programs must consider cost and technical issues, especially during the early steps to minimize barriers for small and mid-sized companies.
• Programs must engage governments, property management companies, building owners and the like to create demand in the marketplace.
• Engagement, transparency, continual improvement and a commitment to protecting health and the environment are the keys to long term success.
Globally there may be unique issues in each country. Regardless, the goal remains the same- building a strong and professional cleaning industry focused on protecting building occupant and workers health, while reduce adverse impacts on the environment.
