Sustainability

We incorporate sustainability in all that we do. Our training provides the education and skills for our employees to become conscious in best practices regarding environmental, social and economical influences in all levels of our company and community.
We aim to incorporate the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in our everyday operations and promote the 3 foundational pillars of Sustainable Development:
Environmental Commitment
We are an environmentally friendly business, with a commitment to protecting all environmental aspects impacted by our works being undertaken.
It is company policy to protect the environment and reduce greenhouse emissions through training and a pro-active approach to maintaining a very high standard of plant and equipment. Our Environmental Management System complies with ISO14001:2015. We hold a Certificate of Environmental Accreditation (Green Stamp) and carry out our work in accordance with all relevant State and Commonwealth environmental legislations.
Southern Cross Cleaning implements our personal standards at all levels within the company. We continue to review and improve our systems and processes, with a focus on limiting our impact on the environment through accountability and ethical practices. We promise to act as leaders in the industry by implementing sustainable methods and technologies with the intention of minimizing our footprint on the environment.
Environmental Initiatives
We have redefined our processes and the ways cleaning tasks are performed, effectively removing contaminants without compromising the environment.
This is something we focus on strongly. Ensuring a wholesome culture within our company benefits our employees and clients. It is something that can be demonstrated in all aspects of work and life. An important part of Southern Cross Cleaning’s culture is to show respect for all employees and clients and to make sure we always have open and honest channels of communication with the people we work with.
Some of our environmental initiatives include:
