Helpful programs to make your business green

Switching to green cleaning is an easy way to get your building and business on the path to saving money, being healthier and getting green-certified. There are several programs in place to reward your business and/or make certain it is as green as possible.

LEED^®

The U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED^®) Green Building Rating System™ is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. The program provides a roadmap for measuring and documenting success for every building type, whether existing (LEED-EB) or new (LEED-NC). LEED^® gives building owners and operators the tools they need to have an immediate and measurable impact on their buildings’ performance.

By switching to green cleaning with ServiceMaster Clean^®, you can quickly and easily qualify for LEED^® points. To learn more about LEED^® certification, visit the U.S. Green Building Council.
