Choose a More Environmentally Friendly Nordic Swan Ecolabelled Cleaning Service
We provide cleaning services to more than 200 workplaces across Denmark. Our cleaning service is certified with the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, and in 2025 it was recertified under significantly stricter criteria. This demonstrates that our service has a lower environmental impact than non-certified cleaning services.
The quality of our service is built on consistent quality standards, regular quality assurance and highly trained employees who deliver reliable, high-quality cleaning across all workplaces.
Well-Trained Employees Ensure High Quality
Like the rest of our employees, our cleaning staff complete our internal service and safety training programmes. They are trained to use our digital platform, which includes cleaning plans, quality standards and quality assurance procedures, and they receive ongoing training and upskilling whenever needed.
This helps ensure that we comply with current environmental and safety requirements, including the criteria of the Nordic Swan Ecolabel.
Wellbeing and Fair Working Conditions
Our employees are the foundation of a strong service business, which is why their wellbeing is a top priority. All employees complete our foundational training programme, supporting both their professional and personal development while helping them feel confident and secure in their roles.
We are a member of the Confederation of Danish Industry (DI), and all employees in our operations are covered by collective agreements that ensure fair pay and working conditions.
Our Cleaning Service Is Certified with the Nordic Swan Ecolabel
The Nordic Swan Ecolabel is the official Nordic environmental certification and one of the world’s most rigorous environmental labels. Having our cleaning service certified means it has a lower environmental impact than non-certified cleaning services.
In 2025, we successfully renewed the Nordic Swan Ecolabel certification for our entire cleaning service under significantly stricter Generation 4 criteria. The certification is based on 26 mandatory requirements covering areas such as management, quality, ethics and working environment, transport and resource efficiency.
One of the requirements is that at least 90% of all cleaning chemicals must be environmentally certified. Today, we have reached 98%.
What Does It Take to Achieve Nordic Swan Ecolabel Certification for Cleaning Services?
The Nordic Swan Ecolabel is a holistic environmental certification that sets requirements across every aspect of a cleaning service – not just the cleaning products used. To achieve certification, organisations must comply with 26 mandatory criteria covering areas such as management, quality, ethics and working environment, transport and resource efficiency.
In addition to the mandatory criteria, organisations must earn points across a range of specific categories, including the consumption and share of eco-certified cleaning products, fuel consumption related to transport, and the procurement of environmentally certified products and services. This means the certification is not solely about cleaning chemicals but reflects a comprehensive approach to sustainability throughout the entire cleaning service.
The criteria are regularly updated. When we renewed our certification in 2025, the requirements had been significantly tightened under Generation 4, requiring a coordinated effort across our entire cleaning division to meet the new standards.
Data-Driven and Needs-Based Cleaning
We embrace the opportunities offered by digitalisation to improve the efficiency of our cleaning services. By using technology for planning, monitoring and reporting, we ensure that cleaning is tailored to actual needs while providing greater transparency in quality assurance and environmental performance.
Our innovative approach enables us to deliver a personalised cleaning service that enhances wellbeing and promotes a healthier environment for employees, customers and guests alike.
The Service Standard – Your Guarantee of Responsible Business Practices
This certification is awarded by the Danish Employers’ Association for the Service Sector (SBA) and serves as a mark of assurance. At Compass Group, we are committed to operating a business built on strong values and to being a trusted partner. Certification under the Service Standard confirms our credibility and reliability to customers, employees and public authorities.
Søren Kabbel Dalgaard, Technical Manager at Aalborg Congress & Culture Centre:
Sustainability Is Also About Happy Employees
“At Aalborg Congress & Culture Centre, we are ISO certified, so it is important to us that our partners are also actively committed to sustainability.”
We incorporate sustainable solutions into every part of our business, and we know that Compass Group shares this commitment by using Nordic Swan Ecolabelled products.
But using environmentally friendly cleaning products is only one part of the equation. Sustainability is also about people.
The people we employ need to thrive, and we feel that Compass Group shares our approach – both when it comes to protecting the environment and putting people first.”
