For 40 years Bee Services has built a reputation for excellence in commercial cleaning and facilities management. Today, we are taking this legacy to the next level by embedding Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into everything we do. Our Sustainability Plan 2025 sets out our intentions for embedding best practice.
Businesses of all sizes have a responsibility to people and planet, and we are committed to playing our part in securing a more sustainable future. Bee Services is a trusted partner for a broad client base, and we want to help them make more responsible choices. Our Sustainability Plan outlines how we are working with our consultancy Wylde Connections to demonstrate environmental and social stewardship.
We started the process with Wylde in taking a deep dive into our operations and interrogating our value chain through a sustainability lens. This is helping us identify areas where we can not only reduce negative impacts but drive net positive interventions.
Demonstrating sustainability credentials is now a top priority for businesses wanting to both meet their moral obligations and respond to changing demands from regulators and stakeholders alike. At Bee Services we are not only keen to secure compliance but want to take the opportunity to set some ambitious goals.
We have already started to embed best practice. We are an accredited Living Wage employer and are encouraging clients to pay a rate that helps meet people the true cost of living. We employ a diverse workforce, have an impressive health and safety record and offer opportunities for professional development. At the same time, we are striving to reduce environmental impact by offering clients a range a of recycling waste streams through our partner First Mile.
Our Plan sets out how we will progress on our sustainability journey by taking these interventions to the next level. We have aligned our priorities with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), providing us with a framework for addressing key issues such as climate change, inequality, and biodiversity loss. Together with our Materiality Assessment, they have informed our Action Plan which highlights our sustainability priorities. Key milestones will include measuring our greenhouse gas emissions, transitioning to energy-efficient equipment, and replacing fossil fuel vehicles with electric and hybrid alternatives.
Once we have established our baseline emissions data for 2024/2025, we are set to develop a robust Carbon Reduction Plan that will target the hotspots in our value chain and help us achieve our decarbonisation goals.
By aligning our sustainability goals with the needs of our stakeholders, we are building resilience, driving innovation, and ensuring long-term success. Key priorities for the coming years include training our management team in sustainability awareness, expanding our electric vehicle fleet, and transitioning to environmentally friendly cleaning products.
We are excited about taking those next steps and in the coming months will continue to share our progress. Our goal is to not only make our business more sustainable but develop a service offer that allows our clients to do the same. We encourage others to come on board and share the benefits.
