Kate Lovell has been promoted to become Cleanology’s first-ever ESG Director.

Having worked as Head of Marketing at the commercial cleaning company for two years, Kate will now spearhead Cleanology’s drive to maintain its sustainability and social impact credentials. 

“Heading up Cleanology’s push to be a champion of sustainability is a privilege and one of my most treasured career highlights,” said Kate. “Sustainability is a subject close to my heart and is hugely important to our customers. We acknowledge that our impact extends beyond delivering exceptional cleaning services to fostering a positive influence on our community, ensuring fair treatment of our staff, and promoting sustainability and inclusivity”.

Kate will steer Cleanology towards B-Corp status and becoming net-zero by 2035, as well as continuing other sustainability initiatives. Cleanology was the first cleaning company in Europe to introduce portion-controlled biological cleaning sachets and the first cleaning company in the UK to issue staff uniforms made from recycled plastic bottles. This  prevents 7,000 bottles from entering landfill each year.

The company has also invested in a fully electric van fleet in London, which will save 5,000 litres of diesel per year, equivalent to 13.5 tonnes of CO2. 

“We focus our effort on areas which achieve the greatest environmental impact, being the first to market in several key areas with the hope that our environmental innovations will become industry norms,” explained Cleanology CEO and Co-Founder Dominic Ponniah.

 “We are proud that 45 per cent of clients choose Cleanology for our sustainability record.  We don’t see any value in partnering with companies unless they are like-minded and similarly ambitious on sustainability. I am so excited that Kate has agreed to take on this hugely important new role and look forward to supporting her on our ambitious sustainability journey.”
