CLEANING & HYGIENE
bin bags. Together, our recycled uniforms and portion- controlled sachets cut plastic bottle use by 28,000 bottles every year.
Social Of course, all business is social, but how can we lessen our impact, or really become a force for good?
"Cleanology’s zero-emission, all- hybrid and electric fleets save 5,000 litres of diesel per year."
Accreditations are one route. At Cleanology, we are about to receive B-Corp status, which demonstrates that we are on the right path. But we all need to do more, especially with so many people struggling.
Figures show that one in three people has had to go without hygiene essentials. In fact, hygiene products are the canary in the mine – people will choose to forego these before they are forced to accept donations from a food bank.
Since 2020, Cleanology has supported The Hygiene Bank, which was launched to tackle the shocking reality of hygiene poverty. The resulting campaigns have generated a whopping 1,000kg of hygiene products. Cleanology’s

own donation of hand sanitiser during our first campaign amounted to over £13,000 and, this year, our annual fundraising auction raised over £14,000. Press coverage of the event raised awareness of hygiene poverty to over 100,000 people through media coverage.
Governance Underpinning every decision made is governance, the ideals and principles that steer the ship. For Cleanology, our central pillar is fair pay, so the Real Living Wage sits at the heart of our business.
In 2017, 18% of our staff received a Real Living Wage rate of pay. Today, that has increased to 62% overall, and 96% of all new business won in 2021. We are currently in the process of becoming a 100% Living Wage employer. The shift has taken time, customer engagement and a great deal of discussion, but we have remained convinced that it is the only way forward.
As we start a new year, and re-evaluate our successes and future goals, this is perhaps the best point to go back to. Sustainable business needs to feel good. And once you start on this path, you will only become more committed to the necessity.
