We are doing our part to ensure a healthy planet and provide green schools for generations of students to come. With our impact on local and global environments in focus, our team puts their experience and knowledge to work to curate a customized sustainability program for our education partners.
Our approach to sustainability is focused on three areas: energy – environment – empowerment.
SSC believes that energy cost control begins with an evaluation of current and historical consumption. We conduct a detailed study to establish baseline building energy and water usage and an asset condition assessment to identify investment-grade energy measure recommendations. By following a customized preventative maintenance plan for buildings and equipment, we can achieve higher levels of energy conservation and cost savings for our partner schools.
From water conservation to a full line of environmentally certified cleaning products, SSC maintains our commitment to the environment at every level of service. Our janitorial program utilizes green cleaning supplies, bamboo handles, and reusable microfiber cloths allows us to reduce our carbon footprint and lead the way in environmentally friendly practices.
