Green Seal Certified Sustainable Services Program

State-of-the-Art Custodial Solutions

ICS Contract Services is dedicated to providing state of the art professional custodial solutions with a personal touch. We feel our local presence; lean organization coupled with a stable workforce provides us with a unique competitive advantage that allows us to maintain a diverse client list in varying industries, including Higher Education, Airport Facilities, Class A Office space and many other prestigious properties in the Atlanta landscape. We are currently responsible for over 32% of the largest properties in this market. With over 1200 employees and over 450 contract employees, the stability of our workforce is primarily due to one of the lowest employee turnover ratio, as well as one of the highest manager to employee ratio (1:16) in the industry.

"Green Seal Certified" Sustainable Services Program (SSP)

Our Sustainable Services Program (SSP) is a "Green Seal Certified" cleaning program that is designed to maintain the level of cleanliness you've come to expect and bring focus to a healthy environment. SSP consists of chemicals, equipment, and cleaning standards that meet or exceed the Green Seal Certified GS-42 published guidelines. As with everything we do, SSP is aligned with our commitment: Customer First, Last and Always.

Focus On Healthy Environments

Why is ICS Contract Services taking a proactive stance for the environment? As a leader in the custodial service industry, we have the power to improve the environment within our scope of responsibility - cleaning. The statistics are alarming. Here are just a few:
