many instances, with several companies only operating on a sustainable level. While many view this as a gimmick, it’s become so much more than this – being green shouldn’t just be a USP; we have a responsibility as a business to make a difference. If money makes the world go round, try making money in a world that is struggling to survive.

profit ethos- this loosely translates to businesses that invest in their staff and workforce, ensure that their products we use do not cause unnecessary damage to the environment, and commit to a sustainable balance sheet that promotes long-term stability. We look forward to Tomorrow’s Cleaning’s contribution to this important conversation that


where PHS can help. Products from its Water and Energy Saver Range help companies maintain hygienic washrooms while also significantly reducing water consumption. For example, the Flow-saver® water management system contains infra-red detection technology to regulate the flushing of urinals, and PHS’s Flush-wiser® water saving device helped The Lewis Partnership to improve their environmental rating and reduce their expenditure on water and sewerage at the same time.”

"We are finally beginning to understand that the word green i, to some extent, a ploy; a marketing spin if you like, now over the next few years we will see the real thing in terms of products, accountability, life cycle and social awareness. The green revolution hasn’t gone away, it’s just evolved – like us!"
