Vision Statement In an industry wrought with abuses towards individuals, weak business practices and lacking environmental stewardship, we deem it our duty to provide new means to challenge, change and improve the building cleaning industry. We believe that these changes must focus on the management and leadership in all aspects of our industry so that the processes by which we observe, plan, produce, perform and implement will be in harmony with the human environment, both built and natural. 7
