Green Cleaning is defined as “Cleaning to protect health without harming the environment” - Executive Order 13101. CSI International is committed to deliver a clean and healthy working environment for all our employees and your building’s occupants. Maintenance of a healthy environment is the shared responsibility of management and employees at all levels of the CSI organization. Every employee is trained and held accountable to achieve the goal of minimizing the exterior’s impact on the local environment and to emphasize and practice environmentally safe, low impact cleaning chemicals and practices.

CSI understands that the concept of stewardship – “the responsibility for managing, conducting or supervising the quality, state or condition of a commercial or institutional building”- is essential to the green cleaning perspective and integral to the success of our green cleaning program. Therefore, CSI is committed follow a set of stewardship principles that have been developed by pioneers of the green cleaning movement. These principles will help in our efforts to be good stewards of the buildings we service, their occupants, our employees, and the overall environment.
