Sustainability Cleaning Services Melbourne
M1 Services is committed environmental practices. This is part of our broader commitment to corporate social responsibility. As a provider of professional cleaning and ancillary services, our overall environmental ‘footprint’ is relatively small.
Nevertheless, we aim to minimise our use (and, where possible, maximise our re-use) of the resources we utilise to deliver our services. Regarding procurement, we are committed wherever possible to assessing the environmental, social and economic impacts of our purchasing decisions.
In considering environmental impact, we seek to purchase products and services that, in principle ‘do no harm’:
- Minimise greenhouse gas emissions
- Maximise sustainability
- Utilise recyclable content in production and are recyclable at life end
- Minimise the use of water
- Minimise toxicity
- Form partnerships with suppliers with a proven record of environmental management
Our aim is to reduce net environmental impact in the following main areas:
- Chemical free cleaning procedures where ever possible
- Microfiber cleaning products in conjunction with chemical free cleaning and with chemical use to lower the amount of chemical used on site
- Comprehensive team member training of correct liquid waste disposal
- Minimise the use of water
- Rostered Operating Efficiencies, day cleaning versus night cleaning
- Assist and comply with site specific recyclable waste programs
By implementing our green cleaning practices and products, we can achieve the following:
Health & Safety
