At Green Facilities Management Ltd, we’re delighted to announce that we’ve been awarded the EcoVadis Bronze Medal, placing us within the top 35% of companies worldwide for sustainability performance. This recognition is not only a major achievement for our team but also a reflection of our long-standing commitment to delivering sustainable, responsible, and environmentally conscious cleaning services.
Whether it’s commercial cleaning, office cleaning, or full-service facilities management, sustainability shapes everything we do - and this award reinforces that dedication.
What This EcoVadis Recognition Means
The EcoVadis sustainability assessment is one of the most respected global benchmarks, evaluating companies across more than 130,000 supply chains. Achieving a Bronze Medal indicates strong performance across four key categories that shape modern, responsible facilities management:
Environmental Impact
Our use of eco-friendly cleaning products, energy-efficient equipment, and waste-reducing procedures played a crucial role in this score. This helps us deliver safe, effective, and environmentally responsible cleaning services for our clients.
Labour & Human Rights
We maintain safe working environments and invest in the wellbeing of every member of our cleaning and facilities team. Fair labour practices form the foundation of our service delivery.
Ethical Business Practices
Transparency, integrity, and accountability remain central to the way we operate - whether we’re supporting large corporate sites or smaller commercial spaces.
Sustainable Procurement
We prioritise suppliers who share our ESG values, ensuring the products and equipment used in our professional cleaning services meet strict environmental and ethical standards.
This recognition reinforces our position in the 65th percentile globally, demonstrating that responsible, sustainable cleaning is at the forefront of our operations.
