The CIMS certification guarantees customers that we have the appropriate systems in human resources, service provision, health and safety administration, quality systems, management commitment, and environmental practices.

Since 2012, we've achieved the ISSA Cleaning Industry Management Standard (CIMS) and Green Building (GB) certification with honours.
