The Cleaning and Support Services Association (CSSA) has launched a cross cleaning industry sustainability forum. This forum, which brings together cleaning contractors, manufacturers, distributors and other sector stakeholders, will both drive the CSSA’s policy positions on sustainability and also develop member services to assist the cleaning industry to become more sustainable.
CSSA chief executive, Andrew Large, said: “As the global economy enters recession, businesses are looking for new strategies that will enable future growth and development. A sustainable development strategy that places equal weight on people, profit and planet will enable cleaning businesses to meet client needs and grow, both in the short and long terms.”
The CSSA group will develop a strategic agenda for 2009 and beyond. It will focus on enabling the cleaning supply chain to supply sustainable cleaning services to its clients, and on campaigning to improve the receptiveness of the client base to sustainable services.
