We’re Advancing Sustainability: Thanks to Our People, Partnerships and Core Values
As we mark the 55th celebration of Earth Day, the message of sustainability is no longer regarded as a complement to an array of services but is an urgent topic of everyday planning and innovation that permeates all aspects of facility services work. UG2 excels in our sustainability initiatives thanks to the very formula we use to solve problems across all our five-star services: Innovation plus real relationships equals success.
Through our rapid growth and expansion over the past few years, we have been able to scale up our sustainability efforts to match that growth thanks to the core values that ground our work. Those foundational values help us elevate the standard of excellence, yielding sustainability practices that have earned us recognition as leaders, innovators and changemakers who think outside the box.
Our commitment to true sustainability and our success in going above and beyond in that commitment are apparent in the ways we:
Adapt practices to different customers’ varying needs and goals
Sustainability can become its own waste of resources if organizations take a cookie-cutter approach. To be successful with sustainability in the facility services realm, plans need to align to each specific building or organization, as each customer and setting brings its own unique goals, needs and obligations to fulfill.
As citizens of our customers’ industries, we work closely with our customers to identify what makes sense, and we continuously revisit and refine our approach to incorporate feedback and lessons learned and reflect evolving circumstances. We love nothing better than when our leadership partners with a customer to come up with something exciting and unique, like our rooftop beekeeping project.
Operate to the highest standards
Our methodical and disciplined business approach incorporates the idea that short term actions have long term consequences, a concept at the heart of sustainability practices and environmental stewardship.
Maintaining that discipline as we engage with our work as citizens of our industry and our customers’ industries—all while investigating and adopting cutting-edge technology—is how we elevate facility services as a whole and sustainability practices specifically.
Earn accolades along the way
Introducing meaningful sustainability practices in your operation can be intimidating and time-consuming—and our customers understandably worry about the impact on their bottom line. UG2’s deep bench of expertise and nimble approach to introducing change has won us the gratitude of countless customers and recognition in the form of awards—from our customers and from the industry.
We have been honored time and again for achieving excellence, sustainability, safety, and quality as a facility services industry leader. That tells us our teams are doing right by our planet and by our customers, which makes us incredibly proud.
