Written by Manu Sareen | 24 November 2025 12:02:28 Z

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.

Why Sustainability Is Essential in Modern Cleaning Services

Sustainability isn’t a trend - it’s a necessity. For organisations across the UK, environmentally responsible cleaning delivers real, measurable benefits.

Healthier, Safer Working Environments

Using low-toxicity, eco-friendly cleaning solutions helps improve indoor air quality and reduce exposure to harsh chemicals in offices, schools, healthcare settings, and commercial premises.

Lower Environmental Impact

Green cleaning p racti ces reduce water usage, energy consumption, and chemical waste, supporting clients with their own sustainability commitments.

Long-Term Value for Businesses Sustainable cleaning aligns with corporate ESG targets, reduces compliance risks, and enhances overall operational efficiency.

Supporting ESG-Driven Organisations

Many businesses now seek service providers who reflect their environmental goals. This accreditation strengthens trust and demonstrates our alignment with UK organisations driven by ESG priorities.

How We Embed Sustainability Into Our Cleaning Operations

We have made significant progress in embedding sustainability throughout our cleaning and facilities management services. Our approach includes:

Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products

We use certified, environmentally safe detergents and disinfectants that deliver exceptional results while reducing chemical impact.

Energy-Efficient Equipment

Our cleaning teams utilise equipment engineered to use less energy and water, without compromising on quality.

Sustainable Waste and Resource Management

From recycling initiatives to microfibre systems, we design our cleaning processes to minimise waste and support clients’ environmental goals.

Responsible Supply Chain Partnerships

Every supplier is evaluated for environmental responsibility, ensuring the products we use meet strict sustainability standards.

Training & Development

Our cleaning operatives receive ongoing training in modern green cleaning techniques, sustainability best practice, and safe, efficient cleaning methods.

How We Plan to Strengthen Our Sustainability Performance

This achievement marks an important milestone, but it is far from the end of our journey. As part of our continuous improvement strategy, we plan to:

  • Reduce emissions across our service areas
  • Expand the use of eco-certified cleaning products
  • Enhance reporting and transparency for clients
  • Invest in new sustainable cleaning technologies
