On the company’s strategy, Jeff Silver, Head of ESG at DOC says, “Before embarking on our strategy, we maintained that anything that we do would be evidence based with tangible results, and not a greenwashing statement without substance”. The company can highlight the results of their Net Zero project as a perfect example. After carrying out an analysis of emission scopes one, two, and three, in Summer 2023, DOC Cleaning was able to have accurate data to measure its carbon footprint, set a certified Net Zero goal of being a Carbon Net Zero company by 2040 – 10 years ahead of government deadline, and have a fully documented action plan on how this will be achieved. The company has also set an interim target of 64% reduction in emissions by 2030. Targets have been third party verified by our CSR certification partner, Planet Mark, and aligned to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a global initiative to tackle environmental impact and set science-based climate targets. DOC Cleaning is within the top 10% of UK registered companies, and first independent cleaning company to have achieved this level of commitment. As leaders in our industry, we feel our experience can help drive the CSR goals of current and potential clients. Lee Andrews, CEO of DOC, commented, “The progress we have made from our strategy demonstrates a full understanding of the subject of CSR. Furthermore, our governance structure around CSR ensures that everyone, at every level, has some responsibility and we ensure that understanding is tailored to the needs of that role so we can provide the relevant but correct level of client service.” Just as important is the social value of products used.
