There are many ways that businesses can achieve their CSR goals, but one of these methods is through green cleaning. Green cleaning is the process of using cleaning products that contain ingredients that are safer for the environment, as well as safer for those that use them, in comparison to traditional cleaning productions.
What is CSR?
Corporate Social Responsibility is the idea that companies have a
social responsibility to do what is best for people, the planet, and society as a whole. It is a form of self-regulation that encourages firms to act in a socially responsible manner to make positive contributions to the world.
CSR is usually broken down into four main categories: environmental, philanthropic, ethical, and economic responsibility, and companies can decide which of these goals they prioritise and how they achieve them.
How does green cleaning support CSR?
Green cleaning can contribute to both the ethical and environmental elements of corporate social responsibility. Here at Eco-Point, we are proud to be an industry leader in the design and distribution of eco-friendly cleaning and maintenance products. We have worked tirelessly to remove the hazardous compounds from our base products, providing a safer alternative to many traditional products that are on the market.
Our solvent-free cleaning and maintenance products are designed to have less of an environmental impact, while also being safer to the user of the product. We are committed to supporting the environment through the development of a
wide product range that is more eco-friendly than traditional cleaning chemicals. Additionally, we focus on the ethical aspect of CSR by developing products that are safer for the end user. By removing the hazardous chemicals from our products, we reduce the
risks of occupational asthma and other respiratory illnesses that are associated with traditional cleaning products.
Sustainable supply chains & sustainable development
Of course, green cleaning is just one element of a wide-spreading sustainable supply chain. For a supply chain to be considered sustainable, it must fully integrate ethical and environmentally responsible practices into a complete model. True sustainability is derived from integrating sustainability throughout the entire chain to create a cascade effect of sustainable practices that flow throughout the supply chain and contribute to sustainable development.
Sustainable development is the idea that we can meet the needs of the present, without compromising the ability for future generations to meet their own needs. The environmental conservation element of sustainable development is a key aspect that needs to be applied to corporate policy, as businesses have traditionally been reprimanded for their impact on the environment. Green cleaning is just one way that a business can reduce its environmental impact. There are a range of other methods, including reducing waste, recycling, and measuring and reducing your carbon footprint.
At Eco-Point, we are proud to help businesses take strides towards achieving their CSR goals, by offering safer cleaning and maintenance detergents and lubricants. For over 30 years, we have been working to develop products that are safe for users and the environment.
