Championing sustainable workplaces
For more than a century, ISS has been championing sustainable workplaces, nurturing the wellbeing of workers and developing healthier working environments.
We champion sustainable workplaces by employing our ROC principles, and by focusing where we make material difference for our clients.
​​
-
REDUCE waste across all aspects of facilities operations including energy, water, food and materials.
​​ -
OPTMISE usage of all necessary resources including energy, water, food and materials.
-
CHANGE behaviour of all those who utilise or visit workplace facilities to identify, and where appropriate, act upon opportunities to improve sustainability.
​
But what is it that makes ISS's approach really different?
It's our global team of more than 350,000 Placemakers who are trained to identify, and empowered to act upon opportunities to apply our ROC Principles wherever they see the need, at thousands customer sites, each and every day.

Changing behaviours to build a more sustainable supply chain
​
A crucial part of our ROC Principles is 'Changing Behaviours', and as Supply Chain Sustainability Manager, Ben Bolt keenly understands the need to change the way we consume to build a more sustainable future.​
