INDUSTRY LEADING FAIRNESS
ESG in the cleaning industry
ESG is very important, especially within the cleaning industry.
Cleaners are often at risk employees from marginalised groups, including women, minorities and immigrants, and are often treated unequally and paid low-wages.
This is why making sure ESG principles are adhered to, and that everyone is treated with fairness is crucial for a cleaning business.
Fairness is very important to us here at CMOS, whether it’s dealing with our clients, our staff, or the environment we want to ensure everyone is treated well!

Environment
For the environment, we have a number of initiatives to help do our part to treat the environment with fairness, including:
- planting a tree for each new contract we receive;
- encouraging carpooling for staff;
- using environmentally responsible cleaning products;
- and helping our clients reach their environmental goals.
For a number of our clients we weigh their rubbish/recycling and even manage worm farms at their sites.
