Our ESG

Introducing our plan for a better future – Beyond Cleaning

Our vision is to empower everyone we connect with to take positive action for the planet and society.

Our sustainability strategy, Beyond Cleaning, will ensure we achieve this vision and broaden our positive impact within our society. We recognise the power of collaboration and partnerships, and it is our aim to work closely with our people, service partners, clients and wider communities to ensure reach our goals.

The key aims of our strategy fall under four pillars:

Empowering our people

We believe our people are our greatest strength and we are committed to creating an inclusive culture that enables everyone to thrive.

Creating a positive legacy

We are committed to taking urgent climate action and investing in our communities where it is needed the most.

Inspiring bold action

We harness the power of collaboration and transparent communications to inspire bold action in our stakeholders and industry.

Ensuring safer spaces

We ensure safer spaces by establishing strong relationships with our suppliers and delivering innovative and sustainable solutions to our clients.

Beyond Cleaning Launch Event

In September 2022, more than 100 staff, customers, suppliers and professional partners gathered at Fora in London’s Spitalfields Market to mark the launch of our long term sustainability strategy – Beyond Cleaning.

Our full ESG strategy report details how we are delivering on our purpose of providing positive experiences and safer spaces.

Our Objectives

We are committed to monitoring the impact of our business to create a sustainable model that benefits our employees, customers and suppliers.

Our company is built on trust, authenticity and robustness. It matters to us that any plans we put in place help us improve our impact in society and the wider cleaning industry in measurable, tangible ways.

We will report on our progress, the challenges we have faced and the successes we have celebrated on an annual basis. This will include our commitment to the United Nation’s Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) and how our Beyond Cleaning strategy aligns with them.

Supporting Our Communites

As a community-built company, our strength lies in our people and our values are centred around caring for them. Our local communities have played an integral role in our success.

As a friend of Grove Cottage, the home of Mencap in Bishop’s Stortford which provides essential social and educational activities for individuals with learning disabilities, we have hosted numerous fundraising events, offered expert business advice, sponsored various Grove Cottage events and made monthly donations. Our ongoing commitment helps support the vital work that Grove Cottage does for the local community.

We actively encourage our colleagues to volunteer and organise fundraisers for our charity partners and causes that are close to their hearts. Our team takes part in the annual Vertical Rush challenge to raise funds in support of Shelter. We also work closely with our clients and employees to find ways to support their charity partners and local communities around their assets.
