ISS sponsors WageMap to promote living wages
ISS has become an official sponsor of WageMap, strengthening its commitment to increasing implementation of living wages across the industry.
Through this commitment, ISS supports the consortium’s mission to achieve living wages worldwide by establishing a Living Wage Reference Standard and a public dataset of globally comparable, locally specific living wage estimates.
With this sponsorship, ISS is taking an important step towards its pledge of working together with policymakers, customers, suppliers and other key stakeholders to increase the implementation of living wages across the industry.
Liz Benison, ISS’s Group Chief People & Transformation Officer, said: “Defining what constitutes a living wage in every country is an essential step towards advancing living wage practices, increasing pay transparency and ensuring accountability. Therefore, we are extremely proud to sponsor an organisation like WageMap. Their efforts to provide the framework and foundation needed to achieve living wages, align perfectly with our social commitments.”
The living wage pledge is one of the ‘signature’ commitments that make up ISS’s social sustainability agenda to ensure fairness, inclusion and opportunities for the company’s more than 320,000 employees, their families and the broader society.
Liz continued: “Social sustainability is at the heart of our operations at ISS and promoting a real living wage is at the forefront of that, with a broad range of positive impacts. In addition to supporting everyday needs, living wages also improve access to education and overall quality of life for both employees and their families.
“Furthermore, our data, along with insights from The Living Wage Foundation, demonstrate that living wages are not only beneficial for employees but also for business. As an example, in the UK, 87% of living wage employers reported an improved reputation, and 62% observed better recruitment and retention in their latest survey.”

Sybron launches biodegradable nitrile gloves Sybron, a supplier of cleaning, hygiene and catering products to the hospitality, education, healthcare and FM sectors, has introduced biodegradable nitrile single use gloves to help the industry become more sustainable.
As part of Sybron’s commitment to the environment, the business will be de-listing its standard latex and nitrile gloves.
Sybron’s bio-nitrile gloves are the same price as nitrile gloves and can be disposed of in general waste with a reduced environmental impact: they biodegrade by 81% in 491 days. Available in four sizes and two colours, blue or black, they are powder-free, food approved and have a textured finish for improved grip.
Sybron bio-nitrile gloves are suitable for the healthcare, construction and utility, automotive, food manufacturing and preparation, janitorial, cleaning and FM sectors.
George Mason, Sybron Sales and Marketing Director, said: “As a forward-thinking and dynamic business, we work continually to enhance our product offering for customers. Nitrile and latex gloves inevitably end up in general waste. Sybron bio-nitrile gloves will make yet another category in our range more sustainable, helping customers to fulfil their environmental responsibilities.
“We offer supply chain continuity by importing these products directly from the manufacturers. The control and ownership of the supply chain creates a stable route to market and this launch marks another step forward for Sybron, enabling customers to enjoy guaranteed stock supply and price stability.
“Sybron is a family-owned business, focused on delivering quality at great value and creating long-standing partnerships with customers. Sybron’s Manageable Growth Strategy ensures we control all aspects of our business expansion and managing the supply chain falls in line with this approach.”
