AUBURNDALE, Mass., May 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- DTZ, a global leader
in property services, recently received a high-profile industry
accolade as ISSA, the leading trade association for the cleaning
industry worldwide, announced that DTZ had once again achieved CIMS
(Clean Industry Management Standard) and CIMS-Green Building
certification.
"Not only does this recertification show that DTZ continually
strives to provide quality service, but we do so in a way that is
sustainable for our clients, company and the environment," said
Bill Greco, DTZ's Director of
Program Development, noting that the Company has held this
certification since 2009 and was one of the first facilities
management providers to achieve this status. "This certification
couldn't be possible without the dedication and support of our team
members and valued customers who helped with the renewal
process."
The CIMS certification reaffirms that DTZ is structured to
deliver consistent, quality service and is committed to efficient
operations and continuous improvement. CIMS offers independent
assurance that DTZ's management systems and processes comply with
the industry's best practices.
The CIMS-GB certification demonstrates that DTZ delivers
environmentally preferable services designed to meet customer needs
and expectations. By implementing the CIMS-GB principles into its
operations, DTZ has established its capability to provide green
cleaning services and help customers achieve points under the
LEED-Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance standards.
To achieve certification, DTZ underwent a comprehensive
assessment and satisfactorily demonstrated compliance with the
required percentage of CIMS elements. Specifically, DTZ met 100
percent of the mandatory elements and exceeded the minimum
requirement of 60 percent of the recommended elements, per section,
to be recertified.
The CIMS assessment was performed by an ISSA-accredited third
party assessor, who reviewed written documentation supporting
compliance with the requirements described in CIMS' five core
sections and conducted a comprehensive on-site review of DTZ's
systems, processes and documentation to ensure compliance. The
assessor also visited individual DTZ client locations to ensure
that DTZ's activities were consistent with documented systems and
processes.
