Seeking a way to differentiate your organization from the competition, demonstrate your commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, improve your overall operations, and save money?

Look no further than the ISSA Cleaning Industry Management Standard (CIMS), the first consensus-based management standard that outlines the primary characteristics of a successful, quality cleaning organization. Join the growing list of CIMS-certified companies by attaining this prestigious symbol of excellence.

In addition, organizations can now also demonstrate their commitment to green cleaning with the new CIMS-Green Building (GB) criteria and designation!  Based largely on the specific green cleaning requirements of the LEED-EBOM Green Building Rating System, the new CIMS-GB module helps organizations demonstrate their ability to assist customers in achieving LEED points, while greening their operations overall!

And CIMS is more than just a way for cleaning organizations to set themselves and their green cleaning operations apart in the marketplace. Individuals who wish to assist their customers in preparing for CIMS certification can become ISSA Certification Experts (I.C.E.), while facility managers and others responsible for selecting a cleaning service provider can gain an increased level of confidence in their contractor by using CIMS and CIMS-GB as a powerful pre-qualification tool.
