by AF 1119 j3 — November 21, 2008—UGL Unicco, a subsidiary of United Group Limited (UGL), is extending its UGL Unicco GreenClean initiative to encompass energy, water, operations and maintenance and several other categories where the company has special expertise that it shares with customers.
Launched in October of 2004, UGL Unicco GreenClean was the first comprehensive sustainability program in the industry by any service provider, says the company. It fundamentally changed the way UGL Unicco purchases equipment and supplies, manages worksites and measures results.
UGL Unicco GreenClean now addresses sustainability on more levels through a broader portfolio of services.
The company also has several U.S. Green Building Council LEED AP (Accredited Professional) experts who are available to guide property owners and managers through the certification process.
The expanded UGL Unicco GreenClean program takes a more comprehensive approach to many core functions. For instance, the effects of cleaning operations on energy usage are considered, and have resulted in new site level policies and procedures to reduce energy usage on a case-by-case basis. Additionally, to meet the needs of customers in the U.S.
and Canada, the list of approved cleaning supplies now includes not only Green Seal-certified products but also products approved by Environmental Choice.
