UG2, an integrated facilities services company, earned a top award from a worldwide cleaning industry association. The company earned ISSA Cleaning Industry Management Standard (CIMS) and CIMS-Green Building (GB) certification that demonstrates the comprehensive development and implementation of operating policies and procedures to give the best services for customers and that delivers a comprehensive green cleaning program based on LEEDEB: O&M green cleaning criteria.
“This is a remarkable affirmation of the commitment UG2 has shown toward environmentally sound services for our customers,” Louis J. Lanzillo, CEO at UG2, said in a press release. “We are honored to receive this significant certification from our industry’s top association, and we feel that it reflects the hard work and consistent customer focus of every team member at UG2.”

- Quality systems
- Service delivery
- Human resources
- Health, safety, and environmental stewardship
- Management commitment
- Green building
