ARAMARK wins cleaning industry and green building certifications

by Ann Withanee — December 8, 2010—ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry association, has awarded its Cleaning Industry Management Standard (CIMS) Certification and CIMS-Green Building (CIMS-GB) Certification to ARAMARK Business & Industry Facility Services (B&I Facility Services), a leading provider of customized facility services solutions.

These top industry achievements signify ARAMARK’s demonstrated commitment to providing high-quality janitorial operations that consistently deliver clean, sustainable workplace environments that allow its clients to focus on their core businesses.

Notably, during the CIMS-GB certification process, ARAMARK was awarded Honors for exceeding the industry standards when providing environmentally preferable janitorial services.

According to ISSA, fewer than 50 organizations worldwide have achieved CIMS and CIMS-GB certification, making it an effective way to identify cleaning-service providers who are committed to service excellence and customer satisfaction. The CIMS-GB with Honors designation further assures businesses and industries that ARAMARK will provide them the cost- and energy-efficient systems they need to secure points under the LEED Green Building rating system.

CIMS-certified organizations must demonstrate compliance with the international organization’s core principles and quality standards in service delivery, human resources, health, safety and environmental stewardship. In addition to a comprehensive assessment of operational execution, an independent and ISSA-accredited assessor conducts on-site reviews of client facilities.
