Central Sanitary Supply’s approach to green facility management is four-fold as its benefits are far-reaching.

	FINANCIAL HEALTH Not only are “green” cleaning products within your budget, the overall impact to improved productivity at your facility result in much more substantial positive impact to your bottom line.
	CUSTODIAL WORKER HEALTH Green cleaning products and processes are designed to reduce the impact on custodian, reducing: accidents and long-term health concerns while increasing productivity.
	OCCUPANT HEALTH Safer products, better maintenance procedures, resulting in cleaner working/learning/entertainment/living environments… ultimately improving the health of each occupant.
	ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH Buildings and the materials used to maintain them have an enormous impact on the earth. Together, every small sustainable choice that we make individually add up to real far-reaching results .

The built environment has a profound impact on our natural environment, economy, health and productivity.

Did you know that the United States consumes approximately 25% of the world's resources with only 5% of the world's population?

Did you know that the U.S. federal government is the single largest consumer of goods and services in the U.S., and probably, in the world - spending more than $200 billion annually on goods and services? The federal government also spends an additional $240 billion a year, indirectly, through grant disbursements.

The U.S. Green Building Council is one of the most recognized organizations for developing sustainable
