Environmental consciousness has been standard operating procedure at Sunshine for decades, but today Green practices are more than just the right thing to do. Being Green is essential for business as well as the protection of our precious Earth. The entire Sunshine team is committed to practicing environmentally conscious cleaning and sanitation procedures at each of our customers’ facilities.
Several of our commercial clients, for example, manage buildings in various stages of the LEED certification process, which requires them to follow certain GREEN protocols, such as the use of environmentally friendly cleaning products. Our existing practices make meeting those requirements a snap. In addition to sourcing cleaning products that are both safe and effective, our cleaning equipment is energy efficient, uses less water and safeguards indoor air quality. Plus, we have robust recycling practices and smart waste removal protocols.
Choosing cleaning products at Sunshine involves careful research and consideration with the overall goal to maximize effectiveness while using the least amount of chemicals possible. We look for products certified by the EPA’s Safer Choice program or other respected third parties, such as Green Seal or Ecologo. We look to such resources as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP) program as well as guidance from the U.S. Green Building Council.
