Sustainability will be a key focus at this year’s BICSc Conference where industry experts will explore the topic and latest developments within the professional cleaning community. The British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc) conference, which will take place at the CBS Arena in Coventry on 4 December, will include keynote speakers from across the industry sharing knowledge and industry insights.
Group Managing Director of BICSc, Neil Spencer-Cook, said: “As part of the Cleaning Excellence Conference & Awards day, BICSc is delighted to have the opportunity to be part of this occasion with our conference, where we will shine a spotlight on the topic of sustainability, which continues to be a major focus within the cleaning community and other industries worldwide. On our stage we will have a series of keynote speakers and guests covering a wide range of topics with the chance for conference delegates to join in the discussions with engaging and informed Q&A sessions.”
All the latest leading industry issues, new developments, and improvements in sustainable processes will also be in the spotlight at the forthcoming BICSc Conference.
Neil Spencer-Cook and Kelsey Hargreaves, Technical Manager at BICSc, will be on stage to cover:
Sustainable Training - BICSc holds the importance of training at the heartbeat of all that we do, as we continue to champion the importance of training for the safety of the operative, we need to further look at training sustainably and what that may mean for the industry.
Additional presentations by fellow industry leading experts will cover a wide range of topics including:
- A sustainable future with the CHSA
- The future of the industry and recognition for retention – WCEC
- Sustainable ways forward – an introduction to technology-led cleaning – CSSA
- Sustainable Cleaning Chemicals – Evans Vanodine
- Sustainable Cleaning – ECO for ALL
Neil added: “From BICSc standpoint our focus is very much about advocating sustainability – it is something we take very seriously. It is important to acknowledge sustainability is so much more than simply a focus on carbon footprint, it’s a very broad subject, which we will explore, in-depth during our conference.”
The BICSc business leader highlighted how BICSc continues to strive to achieve environmental goals and its sustainability is demonstrated in multiple ways, including going paperless in its processes. By offering online, remote training, which negates need for travel is another approach which offers options for cleaning candidates worldwide. During 2024 alone, more than 29,000 BICSc courses have so far been completed by candidates.
At the second conference BICSc has run at the event, the Institute will also seek to highlight how training, ensuring people are trained professionally and passing skills on, is another approach to sustainability and instilling sustainability goals into the professional cleaning community’s worldwide workforce.
