building certifications such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method). These certifications recognize buildings that meet high environmental standards. By adopting sustainable laundry practices, care homes can contribute to achieving these certifications, enhancing their reputation and attracting environmentally conscious residents and staff.
Achieving these certifications can
also provide financial benefits, as many certification programs offer incentives, such as tax breaks or grants, for buildings that meet their standards. This further supports the economic case for investing in sustainable practices.
