A Commitment to Sustainability

At ServiceMaster Solutions™ we’re on a mission to do a great job; for our customers, for our employees, and for the environment.

Facilities maintenance activities, such as cleaning and light bulb replacement, contribute billions of tons of waste into our environment each year. Usage of supplies, such as toilet paper and garbage can liners, consume tens of millions of trees and consume millions of barrels of crude oil each year. The operation of commercial buildings (HVAC systems, utilities, etc) has been estimated to be responsible for producing as much as 1/3 of the greenhouse gases emitted globally.

We’ve decided that we’re going to be part of the solution. How does that benefit you and your customers?

ServiceMaster Green For™ Clean Products

We clean with environmentally sustainable products. ServiceMaster’s exclusive Green For™ cleaning products are plant-based, detergent-free, use only ingredients that are actually listed by the Food & Drug Administration as safe for consumption.You could drink them.
As a result, they have been certified by Envirodesic, Green Seal, and the U.S. Green Building Council. No other green cleaning system has this kind of universal endorsement.

The cleaning products are only part of the story. Our “capture and removal system” uses state-of-the-art cleaning equipment and ergonomically correct techniques to remove more soil from your facility. For you, that means lower particulate matter in the air; translating into more healthy, more productive and more satisfied tenants.

Janitorial Supplies With an Eye On Conservation

Our supplies, like toilet paper and can liners, have been selected to minimize their impact on the environment. That means that our paper products have a high recycled paper content – as high as 40%. We use high density can liners that are cheaper to buy, more efficient to store and use, and are produced using natural gas – not oil.

Fuel Efficient and Hybrid Vehicles

We’re updating our vehicles to maximize the use of hybrid and more fuel efficient technology to reduce our consumption of fuel and the amount of greenhouse gases we produce. You can be confident that we are committed to sustainable environmental practices – not just talking about it.

Advanced Conservation Strategies that Save You Money

Cleaning products, cleaning techniques, janitorial supplies and clean vehicles are easy for you to take advantage of in your facility. But are you ready for advanced sustainability strategies?

Did you know that cleaning during the day can save you as much as 4-8% of your facility’s yearly utility costs? And more, your tenants will be more satisfied with the quality of service you provide.

Centralized recycling and centralized garbage disposal are two more examples of strategies that can limit your environmental impact – and may even save you money on your cleaning services.

These are just some of the strategies you can employ to reduce your impact on the environment and save you money. We are successfully implementing these strategies today for our customers. If you can preserve the environment and save money, the question is why aren’t you?
