🌍 Environmental Commitment

Our Environmental Mission

At TBM Green, environmental responsibility isn't a marketing strategy—it's our founding principle. We exist to prove that commercial cleaning can be a force for environmental good rather than harm. Every decision we make is evaluated through the lens of sustainability, from product selection to fleet management to waste disposal.

Our commitment extends beyond our own operations. We actively educate clients, influence industry standards, and advocate for stronger environmental regulations. We believe businesses have a moral obligation to protect the planet for future generations.

Carbon Neutral Operations

TBM Green achieved carbon neutrality in 2024 through a comprehensive carbon management program:

• Measurement: Track all emissions across operations, transportation, and supply chain
• Reduction: Implement efficiency measures reducing emissions by 70%
• Offsetting: Purchase verified carbon credits for remaining emissions
• Transparency: Annual third-party audited carbon reports

Our carbon offset investments support reforestation projects, renewable energy development, and methane capture initiatives. We prioritize local projects with measurable environmental and community benefits.

Zero Waste Initiative

Our zero waste program transforms traditional waste management through:

• Comprehensive Recycling: All paper, plastic, metal, and glass
• Organic Composting: Food waste and biodegradable materials
• Equipment Repair: Fix rather than replace whenever possible
• Product Refills: Reusable containers eliminate packaging waste
• E-Waste Recycling: Proper disposal of electronic equipment
• Donation Programs: Usable items to local nonprofits

Currently, we divert 92% of waste from landfills, with a target of 100% by 2027.

Sustainable Fleet Management

Transportation represents a major environmental impact for cleaning companies. TBM Green is transitioning to a 100% electric fleet:
