Can you be Green and Clean? - March 2010
As the countryside begins to turn green again and the clean-up begins after a long spell of extreme winter weather, increasing numbers of people are thinking seriously about some wider green issues and many more businesses will be asking about the environmental credentials of the cleaning service providers they choose in 2010.
Some unscrupulous companies will be making extravagant claims about their green credentials this year - using terms such as environmentally friendly, biodegradable or natural - and some cleaning providers are already promoting themselves as so-called "organic" cleaning services.
But the whole area is a lexographic minefield. The use of most of these terms is so unregulated that they have little practical meaning and there is no control or certainly for the discerning purchaser of cleaning products and services who wants to be more environmentally responsible.
Here at Consultant Services, the policy couldn't be clearer. The company strives to be at the forefront in the use of ethical cleaning practices and to see that people are kept safe and healthy. The group achieved ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Management certification and has an active commitment to reducing its carbon footprint both locally and nationally.
As members of the British Institute of Cleaning Science and a recognised BICs accredited assessment centre, we are able to assure clients that all training and practice is of the highest calibre with up to date techniques and methods of cleaning.
The company has its own Health and Safety Department and Health and Safety Officer, qualified to NEBOSH standard and holds the RoSPA President’s Award for 11 consecutive Gold Awards.
With over 40 years experience in the cleaning industry, providing regular services to hundreds of clients, Consultant Services operate with an unrivalled record of concern for the future of the environment and an ongoing commitment to safe and ethical practice that will always deliver the most effective results whilst keeping its green credentials fully intact.
