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.

  • Quality systems

  • Human resources
  • Health, safety, and environmental stewardship
  • Management commitment
