Hope Network Earns Gold as a Green Janitorial Services
Green Janitorial Certification for Hope
The Green Clean Institute proudly awards the Gold level certification to the Hope Network Service Corporation, a provider of janitorial services in the state of Michigan. Green janitorial services are valuable assets to a Green business. Current work sites for Hope Network Services Corporation include the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum, the GR Ford Federal Building and Court House, the Veterans Outpatient Clinic, the FAA Airport Control Tower and Flight Standards District Office, and the Walker Army Reserve Center.
Hope Network provides training and experience for the hard to employ individuals in the state, and provides a janitorial service for many government and business services in the area. David Bouck is the chief organizer of this division and take great pride in providing high quality services and the best of Green programming.
Training is essential to a Green program. Not many people intuitively understand how to offer a full range of cleaning services using Green protocols. Part of the task is the transition to Green cleaning products and better cleaning tools. "Going Green" has a lot to do with a healthier workplace. Indoor Air Quality is greatly influenced by cleaning services. In fact, and EPA study showed the Volatile Organic Compounds can be 36 time above acceptable levels within two hours after cleaning. Also, nearly 12% of work-related asthma cases come from cleaning products according to the Harvard Green Campus Initiative.
Hiring a Green Janitorial service is important because one of the company's greatest assets is its workers. The air quality can cause headaches, tiredness, and lethargy. OSHA has stated that poor indoor air quality costs American businesses more than $60 billion a year in lost productivity.
Businesses are encouraged to include a Green Practices Clause (www.green-practices.com) in all janitorial RFPs or contracts requiring the cleaning service to be Green certified by a reputable firm like the Green Clean Institute. The Green Business League offers 15 Green Points for a Green certified janitorial service that uses Green cleaning products. GBL Green business certification requires 100 points for certification, so the cleaning service is part of the overall Greening of a business.
