Green Clean Certification
BREAKING NEWS: Executive Order #13514 will have major impact on all agency contracts. EPA also promotes "Environmentally Green Purchasing," and LEED requires Green janitorial certification for their points system. The future is clear, the janitorial industry will soon shed the self-appointed Green claims and require Green certification for all new contracts. More RFPs are including language like the green clause found below. If your firm is not qualified, you could lose some very important contracts. The Green Clean Institute suggests this Green Clause in all RFP offerings: “As an environmentally concerned business desirous to participate in the sustainable practices that impact our community and our world, our company requires all services and vendors to demonstrate similar environmental commitment by providing a Green business certification that comes from an audited verification by a national organization. Concerns for Greenwashing and ethical application of sustainable practices encourages our company to require all vendors to comply with verified environmental compliance.”
