Alliance Cleaning is the 1st Cleaning Company to offer a Carbon Neutral Cleaning Service
Since 1 August 2009, all our cleaning services have been carbon neutral, at no extra cost to our clients.
We take into account the emissions from our own head office operations, our fleet of vehicles, the consumables we purchase or supply to clients, and even the water and energy we use whilst on customer sites. We do this so that we can offer a carbon neutral service.
We believe that offsetting forms a positive part of our much wider sustainability plan. We know it isn’t the ultimate answer, although it does make a difference. Our main commitment is to reduce our own emissions and those of our clients.
Whatever CO2 emissions from our cleaning service we have not been able to reduce ourselves, we offset by investing in specially chosen projects from around the world. These projects deliver carbon credits equivalent to the amount we needed to balance out our own emissions from our commercial cleaning services.
We have looked carefully at the offsetting projects we have chosen to support, and they either reach the criteria laid out in the Gold Standard or Voluntary Carbon Standard. The projects we support and specifically chosen for their positive impact in countries which are represented in the Alliance Cleaning workforce.
