Meet federal green
building requirements while
improving workplace
wellness and productivity.

With the establishment of the Office of Federal High Performance Green Buildings, the Federal General Services Administration (GSA) has begun to take a leadership role in promoting sustainability. In addition, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management has defined aggressive goals for Workplace Wellness under the HealthPeople2010 initiative, including 75 percent participation by work sites and employees in 2010.  GSI Eco Healthy Cleaning provides leasing companies and government agencies with the opportunity to take sustainability to the next level in protecting the health and productivity of government employees.

  • Improving Health and Productivity: Research studies by the EPA, Cornell Medical School and a study in the Journal of Sustainable Real Estate document the positive impacts of high-performance, science-based cleaning practices on health, absenteeism and productivity. GSI is a Green Seal GS-42 Certified cleaning company and our Eco Healthy Cleaning Program meets the highest standards for protecting health and the environment. Our compliance with these standards is audited by the Building Wellness Institute, a leading sustainability consulting, training and auditing organization.

  • A Bottom Line Benefit: Many government executives are unaware of the correlation between cleaning, health and productivity. However, the Federal government is making significant investments in Workplace Wellness programs to help improve productivity and reduce the rising costs of healthcare benefits. GSI Eco Healthy Cleaning can turn the workplace itself into a health and productivity benefit for government employees.

  • Employee Education and Recruitment: The GSI Eco Healthy Cleaning Program includes a robust program for educating government employees and contractors on what is being done to protect their health and the environment–and what they can do at home.

  • LEED Certification & Support: GSI can provide assistance for achieving LEED Certification as well as ongoing support for acquiring points for LEED O&M programs.
