We look after schools and commercial premises across the Northwest of England and North Wales, and we know so many of our clients are implementing their plans to tackle Climate change.
We all face some significant changes as governments around the world embrace the challenges of global warming. The 2015 Paris Agreement commits all its signatories to considerable reductions in their carbon emissions with an ultimate net-zero target by 2050. Many Governments, including ours, are more ambitious than that, and some have 2030 as a target, with others targeting being carbon negative by 2040!
Our clients are working hard to reduce their carbon emissions and their overall environmental impact, something which many business owners, employees and customers are passionate about.
As a leading supplier of cleaning and caretaking services, we have been working hard with our customers to help them meet their sustainability targets in the race to net-zero carbon.

Our Accreditations – the Nirvana way
We are accredited to ISO 14001. This is an ISO standard that covers environmental management systems. It is a management tool that helps identify and control the impact of our activities, products and services on the environment.
Our drive to ‘Net Zero’ -the Nirvana way
We recognize that being ISO 14001 accredited is just the foundation of a broader drive to tackle climate change. Getting accredited made us think long and hard about how we operate now and how we will operate in the future.
We are genuinely committed to achieving ‘Net Zero’ and becoming a Carbon Neutral business.
For example, we operate a small fleet of Vans with some of the fleet covering over 160 miles per day. We are now investing in replacing all our Diesel vans with new electric-powered replacements.
This has meant lots of time spent evaluating the right options so we can operate efficiently and effectively. There are many varieties and vehicle choices, and we needed to make sure we had access to both rapid and overnight chargers. Electric vehicles are more expensive to purchase; however, running and maintenance costs are much lower than traditional fossil fuel-powered vehicles.
Our First All-Electric Van
We have now our first electric van a Renault Kangoo on the road with 3 more replacements in the pipeline. Our next phase is a more efficient journey planning process using staff who are more local to each work location. We intend to use electric bikes to reduce our footprint and business costs even more in some areas.
We have also now started to research sourcing all our cleaning chemicals and replacing-ing what we use now with sustainable, ethical and environmentally friendly products. We anticipate we will have completed this process by the end of the year.
We won’t rest on our laurels and will continue to focus on a carbon-neutral future, and ultimately we aim to be accredited as ‘Zero Carbon’.
