Clean offices and a clear conscience In 2021 the Covid-19 pandemic meant changes to the cleaning procedures in Axel Towers. These changes embrace environmentally friendly cleaning.
All cleaning in Axel Towers is now done with eco-labelled cleaning products. In 2021 Gorrissen Federspiel reviewed its c leaning procedures, with increased priority on the cleaning of surfaces due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It therefore became even more important to use products without hazardous chemicals, says Pernille Clemen, Head of Shared Service and Facilities. Not just for the sake of the environment, but also out of consideration for our cleaning staff and our employees who were experiencing more frequent cleaning while they were at work. At our office building in Aarhus, we are using eco-labelled detergents and place particular focus on using the correct dosage. “Our offices are large and require very targeted c leaning. It’s important for us that this is done sustainably, which among other things i ncludes using eco-labelled
etergents with minimum d chemicals and avoiding overuse,” says Pernille Clemen. A natural part of our business In 2020 Pernille Clemen was involved in the process of s electing and appointing cleaning firm Anders Andersens Rengøring as our new provider of office and w indow polishing services. One of the key selection criteria was the provider’s approach to CSR and sustainability. “It was crucial for us that environmental considerations and sound working conditions were a natural part of our future provider’s business. Fortunately, we found it,” says Pernille Clemen.
