Sustainability
Cleaning That Cares for the Planet
Sustainability isn’t an add-on at City Cleaning — it’s part of who we are. We believe clean workplaces shouldn’t come at the cost of the environment, and we’re committed to doing our work in a way that supports a healthier planet for everyone.
From the products we use to the way we manage waste and travel, every decision we make is guided by environmental responsibility.
Toitū Enviromark Diamond Certified
City Cleaning is proud to hold Toitū Enviromark Diamond certification — the highest level of environmental management certification available in New Zealand.
This independent certification confirms that our environmental systems meet the ISO 14001 equivalent standard, with continuous improvement and verified performance. It covers everything from product selection and waste reduction to staff training and energy use.
We don’t just meet compliance standards — we exceed them.
Eco-Friendly Products and Practices
We use Green Earth-certified cleaning products that are biodegradable, non-toxic, and safe for both people and the environment. Our consumables come from trusted sustainable brands such as Tork, Ecostore, and Eco Bags, ensuring that every item we use aligns with our environmental goals.
Our teams are trained to use correct dosages and techniques to minimise chemical and water waste while maintaining exceptional hygiene standards. By choosing products that work with nature, we deliver cleaner spaces with a lighter footprint.
Reducing Waste and Emissions
We continually review how we can cut waste and lower emissions across our operations. Our initiatives include:
Route planning to minimise travel and fuel use
Biodegradable bin liners and recyclable packaging
Digital reporting to eliminate paper use
Recycling and composting programmes at major sites
By integrating sustainability into our day-to-day routines, we make meaningful change without compromising service.
Sustainable Partnerships
We work closely with suppliers who share our commitment to sustainability. This means partnering with companies that prioritise responsible sourcing, ethical labour practices, and environmental performance.
Together, we help our clients achieve their own ESG and sustainability targets by reducing landfill waste, cutting carbon emissions, and creating greener workplaces.
A Long-Term Commitment
Sustainability isn’t a one-time project — it’s a mindset. We’re always looking for new ways to improve, from the use of low-emission vehicles to expanding recycling initiatives and testing innovative eco-products.
By working with City Cleaning, you’re choosing a partner that takes environmental responsibility seriously — not just because it’s expected, but because it’s the right thing to do.
