Leading the way in sustainable cleanliness
Through our Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance strategy we’ve set ourselves
measurable targets, so we can reduce our environmental impact and extend the support we offer
the communities that we operate in. This is our recent progress:
2022
To combat our biggest environmental impacts, we invested in hybrid
vehicles, with the aim of halving our vehicular fuel consumption, and
a URECO water management system and now save around 546,000L
of water a year. Our customers were already benefiting from the ecoinnovation,
Tersano, which converts tap water into a powerful chemicalfree
cleaner.
By installing a mains unit at head office, we removed the use of
cleaning chemicals in our premises, too. We funded an Internet café for
Manchester homeless charity, SPIN, and roof repairs for Wythenshawe
Development Trust.
2023
In February 2023 we partnered with Neutral Carbon Zone who completed
our 2022 report for scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions, achieving
Silver certification.
We rolled out our new pH neutral chemical range, Eco, in 40%
recycled plastic containers, which are 100% recyclable. Coming from
a local supplier, it’s also super concentrated to help minimise delivery
frequency, reducing vehicle usage and carbon emissions. We’re also
planning a move to a 100% recycled paper product range from our
current 80/20 mix of recycled and FSC-certified virgin lines.
Our local paper supplier uses locally-sourced and recycled paper waste
and has a fully circular economy too.
2024
We are delighted to announce our continued partnership
with Neutral Carbon Zone.
We have recently upgraded to their NCZ Gold Certification and
signed up for a Lifecycle Assessment. Demonstrating our ongoing
commitment to NetZero…
• We will measure, quantify and report on all our scope 1, 2 and 3
GHG emissions to ISO 14064 compliance.
• This information will be used to compile both our organisational
and operational footprints, to target our carbon reduction strategy
and continue to track our progress.
• In addition to this, we’ll be completing a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
to establish the specific impact of our service delivery in FM,
meaning we can position ourselves as the responsible choice.
You see, embedding sustainability is not just a business strategy…
It's a forward-thinking approach in a marketplace that increasingly
values social and environmental responsibility. And we’re excited to
take our next step…
2025
By implementing the above, we will be able to create a
declining trajectory within our scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. This will
be benchmarked throughout 2025 so we can track what’s been
successful and what needs further decarbonisation. Ultimately, this
enables a full understanding of the sources of our emissions and
identifies which aspects of our footprint are currently unavoidable.
It is our intention to balance these unavoidable emissions to achieve
carbon neutrality, whilst we continue on our overall journey to net zero.
2025 to 2035
As we move forward, we will continue to track progress,
updating along the way and are on target for achieving Net Zero
Emissions well before 2035.
