Certifications and Awards

CERTIFICATIONS

Cleaning Industry Management Standard (CIMS) with Honours

Since 2012, BEST has achieved CIMS with honours, a key standard in the janitorial sector. CIMS is the comprehensive certification for a company as a whole and is equivalent to the ISO 9001 process, however, it far exceeds these standards as it is industry-specific.

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

Cleaning Industry Management Standard (CIMS) and Green Building (GB) with Honours

Since 2012, BEST achieved the ISSA Cleaning Industry Management Standard (CIMS) and Green Building (GB) certification with honours. This certification is closely tailored to provide customers with precisely what they need to secure points under the LEED for Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance (LEED EB: O&M) Green Building Rating System while greening their operations overall.

As such, CIMS-GB certification demonstrates an organization’s capability to assist customers in achieving LEED EB: O&M points and offers customers assurance that the organization they select is prepared to partner with them in the LEED process.

Offsetters

BEST has been committed to measuring and offsetting our carbon footprint since 2009. We position ourselves as one of the only janitorial organizations in Canada that has a comprehensive climate strategy to achieve a zero-carbon footprint. We achieve this by working closely with Offsetters, the leading carbon management provider in North America.

Our carbon offset funds are used to support projects that would not otherwise be possible, and are not used to subsidize existing planned projects. Since 2009, we have compensated 8,130,000 tCO2e, which is equivalent to removing 2,281 cars from the road. Our portfolio of compensation-funded projects includes local, regional, and international ventures.
