Since 2007, a number of organizations have participated in the Cleaning Industry Management Standard (CIMS) Certification Case Study Program. Each organization went through the official certification process, underwent a comprehensive assessment, and achieved certification to CIMS or CIMS-GB (Green Building). The CIMS-GB case studies are highlighted with the symbol.
