Janitorial Express, one of London’s leading Janitorial Supplies Houses and a member of the Jangro Group, the largest independent Janitorial Group in the UK, has achieved Planet Mark certification. Achieving Planet Mark is based on the commitment to continuous improvement in sustainability in its business operations by measuring and reducing its carbon footprint and engaging its stakeholders.
This is Janitorial Express’ fourth year of business carbon footprint reporting and certification to Planet Mark. It first calculated the carbon footprint of its Islington office operations for the year ending December 2018. Over the next year, the company will continue to reduce its carbon emissions and share its journey with its community to inspire others. By being more strategic about its environmental responsibility, Janitorial Express will be able to significantly increase its positive impact and hope to encourage continual improvements within its community.
“I am overawed with these results. The Janitorial Express team has excelled itself. A 40% reduction in carbon emissions from last year is incredible, and a testament to the revitalised, sustainability-driven strategy at the company. It has been a pleasure to work alongside their team to achieve such dramatic change. I congratulate the team wholeheartedly for its passion to drive change.”
“We have recently gone through a total rebranding exercise in order to redefine the values of our business which is pioneering the use of chemical free, affordable, safe, and environmentally beneficial commercial cleaning products. Planet Mark has been instrumental in helping us achieve our carbon reduction goals which is at the very heart of our sustainability drive. As a result of the rebrand we were inspired to put together our Planet Positive Scorecard which can help businesses choose washroom consumables and safe probiotic cleaning detergents to improve workplaces, safeguard health, and protect our planet.”
Janitorial Express pioneers the use of affordable, safe and environmentally beneficial products to improve workplaces, health, and the planet. From promoting a range of ecologically friendly products to sharing its knowledge and expertise with the industry, and its customers, Janitorial Express is committed to wider-ranging sustainable change.
Businesses in the cleaning industry will benefit from embracing sustainable change. Greening supply chains are on the radar of many businesses and janitorial companies able to demonstrate sustainable credentials will be at a competitive advantage. Ecologically friendly product lines will also have extraneous benefits to human health and waste management efficiency.
To recertify next year Janitorial Express must reduce emissions by 2.5%.
A 5% year-on-year reduction is the target reduction recommended by Planet Mark.
