COSTA MESA, Calif.–(Business Wire)–
Pacific Building Care (PBC) has recently achieved the major distinction of being
the first commercial janitorial company in California to be awarded Green Seal
(GS-42) Certification for their green cleaning programs and practices. This
program ratifies the PBC comprehensive sustainability services platform and its
practice of green cleaning that PBC performs, providing healthier workplaces
with a lower environmental impact across all types of commercial properties.
PBC successfully completed the rigorous and comprehensive application and audit
process administered by the Green Seal Organization. Green Seal, based in
Washington DC, is a third party verification provider that is recognized as the
standard bearer for green cleaning and environmental best practices in the
United States. “PBC`s success in achieving the Green Seal (GS-42) certification
differentiates the Company from competitors that claim green cleaning programs
but fail to deliver the highest standard and rigorous credibility imposed by the
green seal certification,” said Ian Bress CEO of PBC. “Our customers and others
in the property/facility management community can leverage PBC as a leader in
greening commercial real estate to position their facilities with green cleaning
programs that truly deliver a comprehensive sustainable solution.”
The GS-42 certification validates PBC`s services platform integrating all
meaningful aspects of a Green Cleaning Initiative into site specific customized
programs. Industry-recognized best practices for the safe application of Green
Seal certified cleaning products, dust containment systems, use of EPA
recommended environmentally preferred products, and high-performance vacuum
cleaners are each strategically orchestrated in the overall Green Cleaning Plan.
The PBC GS-42 Certified program drives cost savings that actually deliver
cleaner more productive workplaces. It is designed to contribute towards LEED
certification initiatives as well as improving indoor air quality, lowering
employee absenteeism, providing safer working conditions, while enhancing
employee morale and performance. The fully integrated PBC approach includes
lighting retrofits, water conservation, and energy consumption strategies that
drive significant cost savings in all types of commercial properties.
PBC is a leading commercial janitorial services company in the Western United
States, delivering green cleaning and lighting solutions to commercial,
municipal and industrial buildings. PBC employs over 3,200 associates servicing
over 105 million square feet focused on the goal of “greening commercial real
estate” through a comprehensive green cleaning approach that includes LEED
certification consulting and related environmental best practices. By achieving
the GS-42 Certification, PBC continues to rank as one the most innovative and
advanced companies in its environmentally sustainable practices which are
increasingly being demanded by the commercial real estate industry.
