For more than half a century the family company LR Facility Services has operated as a service provider for the German facility management market with its focal point on cleaning and maintenance of buildings. The range of our offers cover common service types such as industrial and maintenance cleanings, as well as more complex and special orders, for example the cleaning of photovoltaic-systems and the restoration of natural and artificial stones. Our organizational culture and values are crucially shaped by the awareness of our social and ecological responsibility. The business owner exemplifies this responsibility and all employees act on that maxim. The implications of this awareness are of more than just theoretical nature: by putting ÖkoClean100™ on the facility management market in 2007, we made a quantum leap in ecological cleaning. During the development of ÖkoClean100™, environmental protection and providing high-grade services were central issues as they are core values of our company’s mission statement. Merging innovative, eco-friendly, and efficient cleaning products and techniques into sophisticated and dynamic cleaning concepts, makes us able to provide customized advices and services which are unique in our business sector up to now. Minimizing water consumption and reducing the use of chemicals to at least 50 percent are the main objectives and challenges of ÖkoClean100™. We strive for our vision of gaining the ecological market leadership in the German facility management sector. In recent years we have received several awards for our involvement in environmental protection, the efficient use of resources, and social responsibility. Some examples are listed in the “References” section. They illustrate how sustained and sophisticated acting can pay off richly.

ÖkoClean100 - Efficient handling of materials 2008
Adhering to our ecological involvement and following our sustainable principles paid off in 2008 when the German ministry of economy and technology awarded LR Facility Services a prize for its efficient material management with the introduction of ÖkoClean100™.
ÖkoClean100 - Germany Land of Ideas 2009: Pilot project nursery school
Before ÖkoClean100™ was widely implemented it was tested at large in a local nursery school. We chose this challenge because the demands for hygiene could not be greater elsewhere. The results were highly satisfactory and the nursery school was chosen as one of the “365 Landmarks in the Land of Ideas 2009”.
Project: Humanitarian aid for Sri Lanka
Beside the aspects of ecological and economical sustainability, LR Facility Services is strongly concerned about its global responsibility. In 2005 we engaged in our humanitarian aid project with which we primarily aimed to compensate the social and economical damages caused by the Tsunami in the South of Sri Lanka. All our efforts were therefore focused on ensuring that the people could stand on their own two feet again. The project was successful and therefore was extended indefinitely.
Devotion to quality and environmental standards
Continuously monitoring the quality of work and services to us is a matter of fact. Therefore our systems of quality and environmental management are certified according to the GLC standards. However, we do not just act according to current quality and eco standards, but surpass them by far.
