April 13, 2007—UNICCO GreenClean, the service company’s green facilities initiative, is the recipient of the 2007 PR News Corporate Social Responsibility Award. It also received an honorable mention in the Cause-Branding Campaign category.
The award noted that UNICCO realized its environmental stewardship presented an opportunity to differentiate itself in the market while actively safeguarding the environment. It also recognized that UNICCO’s approach to sustainable cleaning and facilities services transcends communications; it required changes in procedures, management practices, and corporate culture.
The UNICCO GreenClean program, launched by UNICCO in October 2004, was reportedly the first fully comprehensive green cleaning program by a building services contractor and remains at the forefront of the industry. It includes employee training and operational changes, outreach and informational efforts directed at commercial and government customers, as well as educational institutions.
Now, 75 percent of the company’s new business has a GreenClean component, says UNICCO.
