CLEAN, a UK market leader and one of the principal operators in the commercial B2B laundry sector, has earned a Silver rating from EcoVadis, placing it in the top 15 per cent of global textile services providers, with a score of 73 out of 100 (88th percentile).
The rating follows two years of verified data collection and operational improvements, confirming CLEAN’s position as a dependable partner for organisations seeking transparency in their supply chains.
Ahead of schedule
The accreditation marks a significant milestone in CLEAN’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) roadmap.
Chris Bell, Head of Safety, Sustainability, and Environment at CLEAN, said: “We launched our sustainability strategy, ‘The Sustainable 7’, in September 2024 with a clear goal: to achieve EcoVadis Platinum by 2028. Securing a Silver rating now places us well ahead of that timeline. This achievement is a direct result of the energy and commitment across the entire business.”
Validated by industry specialists
To ensure the integrity of its reporting, CLEAN collaborates with EcoVerify, the specialist sustainability partner chosen by the Textile Services Association (TSA) to support the laundry sector.
This partnership provides independent validation of CLEAN’s data in key areas, including energy efficiency, carbon reduction, ethical procurement, and social responsibility. By working with the sector’s preferred partner, CLEAN ensures its reporting meets the specific standards required by the industry.
Supporting customer supply chains
For CLEAN’s customers, the Silver EcoVadis rating offers independent assurance that their textile service partner meets robust international standards. As businesses face increasing pressure to report on Scope 3 emissions and supply chain ethics, CLEAN’s rated status simplifies compliance and reduces risk for its partners.
CLEAN operates in both the linen and workwear uniform rental markets.
