Approach to Environmental Sustainability
Hannigan Facility Services’ environmental performance has improved significantly over the past four years. Our environmental policy details our commitment to continuous improvement in reducing our carbon footprint and the impact our services have on the environment.
We have retained an expert Environmental Consultant to achieve the ISO 14001 Environmental Standard by March of 2024
Hannigan Facility Services is committed to establishing sound environmental management through:
• Committing to meet the Company’s legislative, regulatory and environmental codes of practice and to facilitate the achievement of policy objectives.
• Developing objectives, which target continuous environmental improvements.
• Incorporating environmental issues into the decision-making process
• Sourcing and using systems and equipment that conserve resources and prevent pollution.
• Ensuring Eco friendly products are used within our processes.
• Educating staff so that they carry out their activities in an environmentally responsible manner.
• Responding promptly and effectively to any known significant environmental impacts of company operations
Educating our Employees and Environmental Week
From an operational point of view, each staff member receives induction training as part of our employee on-boarding process and refresher training is annually thereafter, with monthly Toolbox Talks. Company Environmental Policies and Waste management training form a crucial part of this training, and this is then followed up with on-site training which defines the client specific environmental processes and duties.
Our main aim in the contract cleaning services sector would be the sustainable use of resources (water, energy and material). We want to prevent where possible waste or minimise it with the necessary balance being safely collected and recycled where possible. Environmental considerations should be at the heart of policy and decision making. Responsible environmental behaviour will eventually become the norm across all sectors of society however we want to lead the way in our individual sector.

Hannigan Cleaning Services have a “Green Team” made up of passionate members of our General Staff, Head Office Staff and Senior Management. This team who meet on a regular basis to discuss our carbon footprint as a company try to implement changes and is dedicated to ensuring that Hannigans minimise their impact on climate change. We are currently looking at reducing our fleet’s carbon emissions using a carbon management tool.
