GreenZone aims to achieve new benchmarks in sustainability, inspire behavioural change and minimise the environmental impact of its operations. From the electrification of its fleet and promotion of public transport to introducing cutting edge technologies to create a truly chemical free cleaning experience, GreenZone embeds sustainability throughout its business operations. The company believes that being green is not just a bolt-on to business; it’s how to do business.
The cleaning industry is ripe for widespread change in the decade of climate action. The industry must take closer notice of its supply chain, learning about the impacts of chemicals in many cleaning agents. As popular opinion continues to want greater environmental awareness, cleaning companies must stay on the front foot regarding sustainability for client retention and acquisition purposes.
As part of the Planet Mark certification, GreenZone has committed to making a year-on-year reduction.
