Forefront has once again been awarded the CIMS-Green Building (CIMS-GB) Certification with Honors by ISSA
The Cleaning Industry Management Standard (CIMS) is recognized as the gold standard in the cleaning industry, establishing a comprehensive framework for effective, customer-focused, and environmentally conscious service delivery. The Green Building (GB) designation goes a step further by demonstrating that our programs and procedures support clients pursuing LEED-EBOM (Existing Buildings: Operations & Maintenance) certification, emphasizing indoor environmental quality and sustainability.
This prestigious designation is a testament to our commitment to delivering clean, safe, and sustainable environments in the facilities we serve nationwide.
The “With Honors” distinction is only awarded to companies that exceed the standard requirements in every category, something we’re proud to have accomplished.
To earn this certification, organizations must meet stringent benchmarks, including:
- Quality Systems: Documented management systems that ensure consistently high service delivery and customer satisfaction
- Service Delivery: Proven procedures that result in reliable, efficient, and responsive operations
- Human Resources: Strong policies around employee recruitment, training, retention, and development
- Health, Safety, and Environmental Stewardship: Commitment to reducing environmental impact and promoting health and hygiene
- Management Commitment: Leadership that drives accountability, compliance, and continuous improvement
- Green Building Criteria: Use of environmentally preferable cleaning products, equipment, and procedures in support of LEED requirements
“This certification reaffirms our belief that operational excellence and environmental responsibility go hand in hand,” said Gary Pollack, Managing Partner at Forefront. “Achieving the ‘with Honors’ distinction is a direct reflection of our team’s dedication to performance, accountability, and doing what’s right for our clients and communities.”
At Forefront, we don’t just meet standards, we exceed them. This milestone reflects our ongoing pursuit of innovation and integrity in all we do.
