New paths, opportunities and careers. For us, sustainability is not just a empty phrase, but an integral part of our business.
Carestep provides responsible cleaning services. We help the unemployed, immigrants and young people by employing them and investing in training that meets their needs and aspirations.
This page summarises the cornerstones of our sustainability work. If you have any questions, please contact us and we will be happy to tell you more!
"It is important to look at sustainability as a whole and build strong pillars for environmental, social and societal responsibility."
Carestep was founded because of a need for quality cleaning and a desire to bring good to the world around us. That’s why we are a social enterprise which means that all of our profits are spent on training our staff for career development. We employ people who need support because, for one reason or another, there are obstacles to their career progression.
At Carestep, we favour permanent employment and only hire temporary staff during the summer. Carestep does not use agency staff, and all employees have a contract of employment with Carestep. We always pay employees a higher salary than the minimum wage as defined in the collective agreement.
Promoting the well-being of the environment is a matter for all of us. For us, this means cleaning with the lowest possible chemical load, minimising water consumption, using low-emission means of transport, and monitoring the carbon footprint of our operations.
Carestep has a strong corporate culture that is reflected in all our activities. This is reflected both in the training we provide to our staff and in our day-to-day work.
The core values that are important to Carestep employees are:
Carestep’s emissions are monitored through a carbon footprint calculation.
The calculation of the 2023 carbon emissions has been done according to the GHG protocol, covering Scope 1, 2 and 3.
