Planned Gives A “Green Light” To Customer Service
Planned Companies began its “Go Green” initiative in response to our customers’ feedback regarding interest in a clean, safe and healthy environment that takes into account growing environmental and sustainability concerns. We’ve implemented new cleaning systems and introduced Green products and programs.
We have also obtained accreditation and project certification in The Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System sponsored by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). This system encourages the adoption of sustainable green building and development practices. LEED Professional Accreditation and Project Certification indicates a thorough understanding of green building principles and practices.
Planned’s “Go Green” initiative offers our clients the capability to deliver specific credits required to obtain LEED certification, taking the burden off of ownership groups and management personnel. These credits include:

Planned’s “Go Green” initiative is our commitment to ensure healthier and safer environments for our customers and service providers. Green cleaning has been found to reduce the risk of exposure for building occupants and janitorial/maintenance personnel to potentially hazardous chemical, biological and particle contaminants. We have selected a range of cleaning products that are approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These EPA approved products will soon replace 95% of our current products. These “green” cleaning products and equipment will not only enhance residents’ and tenants’ quality of life, but also improve the return on investment for property owners.
