Championing a greener environment, one clean at a time

In a world of mounting environmental concerns, it’s little wonder that sustainability has become a priority. Everyone’s talking about it. From the smallest businesses to the largest enterprises, every organisation is looking to reduce its impact on the environment – but finding ways to do this isn’t always easy.

Indeed, with numerous sustainability goals, ever-changing standards, evolving agendas and vigorous hygiene requirements to meet, contributing towards a greener environment may seem like an overwhelming challenge for many facilities management businesses. And where do you even start when there are so many areas of the business to consider?

One vital service that’s sometimes overlooked when it comes to improving an organisation’s green credentials is cleaning. Even though maintaining hygienic facilities is essential for every facilities management business, it’s not always the first place an organisation may focus on to make changes. But perhaps it should:

From reducing carbon footprint when cleaning, to meeting and exceeding industry sustainability standards, to reducing waste and consumables usage – the impact of driving sustainable practices through an organisation’s cleaning function can be considerable. And that’s before mentioning the potential positive knock-on effects of working with responsible partners and end customers.

However, whether the goal is to use less water, save energy or reduce emissions, it requires the right products with the right service and solutions. And that’s why Kärcher Professional is partnering with facilities management businesses of all sizes to provide them with the high-quality equipment and expertise to increase productivity while driving sustainability.

By using Kärcher’s market-leading products, specialist service and support, facilities management businesses can start to reduce their carbon footprint, meet their sustainability targets, and keep cleaning – responsibly. They can ensure they’re an appealing supplier to procurement teams looking for green partners and help meet their clients’ sustainability goals too.

It may sound like a step change – and it is. However, Kärcher’s goal is to help organisations take small steps towards their sustainability goals. It’s all about championing a greener environment one clean at a time.

For example, renowned professional services company, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), wanted to reduce its energy bill by turning lights off an hour earlier at night. Kärcher worked alongside leading facilities management services organisation, Atalian-Servest, to provide a solution that could clean an hour quicker at all of PwC’s offices.

It’s in this way that Kärcher drives innovation, constantly striving toward greener, more efficient outcomes. And all Kärcher’s products are eco-efficient by design. With their eco!efficiency mode engaged, Kärcher products can reduce energy and water consumption – using brushless motors and Li-ion batteries to deliver results. But that’s not all.

High pressure cleaning with eco!efficiency can lead to increased intervals between services, and the exact dosage of detergents means less wastage too. Meanwhile, scrubber drying with eco!efficiency can result in a 30% reduction in vacuum power and lowered noise levels thanks to noise-absorbing roller brushes.

In fact, Kärcher’s commitment to sustainability permeates everything it does. Whether it’s the sustainable way in which its products are produced and transported; its responsible approach to machine end of lifecycle; or the initiatives in place at its UK head office such as electric charging points and tree planting initiatives, Kärcher cares. And with Kärcher Academy training programmes, which are designed to help operators use equipment in the most environmentally friendly way, Kärcher provides organisations with guidance on everyday sustainable cleaning practices.

With a deep understanding of facilities management, and the awareness that managing multiple teams across multiple sites can take up a lot of energy – in every sense – Kärcher is the leading professional cleaning solutions provider you can rely on. With the widest range of expertly engineered cleaning equipment, market-leading service and world-class support, why choose anyone else?
