September 19, 2005—UNICCO Service Company has received the Ashkin Green Cleaning Champion award in recognition of its UNICCO GreenClean green services initiatives including the industry resource Web site (www.greencleaning.com). The award is given to companies that support The Ashkin Group’s mission of creating healthier, more productive indoor environments with lower burdens on natural systems, while creating sustainable value. Ashkin is a consultant firm with extensive experience helping federal and local government agencies, school districts, commercial buildings, and others implement green cleaning strategies.
In making the award, Stephen Ashkin, president of The Ashkin Group, said, “We are committed to transforming the cleaning industry. Few cleaning services companies are making the fundamental changes in their use of chemicals and equipment and, most important, their training and structure, to consistently implement green cleaning. UNICCO is making those changes and is absolutely committed to green cleaning throughout its organization.”
UNICCO, a large integrated facilities services company, has revamped its standard operating procedures and training to embrace green cleaning techniques. It automatically introduces green cleaning to virtually all of its new accounts and has developed partnerships with suppliers and customers to champion green cleaning.
