Business Cleaning Sustainability Study

August 9, 2010
Business Cleaning Sustainability Study

In this study, Procter & Gamble Professional gauges the perception, attitudes and behaviors regarding environmental responsibility among almost 430 professionals with decision-making authority over cleaning-related purchases in the lodging, foodservice, healthcare and commercial cleaning industries.

The study conducted on behalf of P&G by Ipsos Public Affairs found that while 9 of 10 decision-makers surveyed said that environmental responsibility and sustainability issues are important for their businesses, their top considerations in making cleaning-related purchases are performance (62 percent), price (51 percent) and ease of use (21 percent). Environmental impact was No. 4 on the list at 20 percent.

Survey results also detail the responses to several other questions including:

  • How much of the cleaning products purchased and used by companies are green?
  • What motivates green cleaning product purchases?
  • Which eco labels and certifying organizations are the most trusted?

In addition, researchers compare the responses from decision-makers among the four industries.

A copy of the report and accompanying material is available for free download from the sustainability section of Procter & Gamble Professional, www.pgpro.com.
