CleanHorizon: a smarter, more sustainable future for cleaning and hygiene

CleanHorizon: a smarter, more sustainable future for cleaning and hygiene

Environmental responsibility is no longer a desirable extra; it is an essential part of doing business. Through CleanHorizon, AUK Hygiene brings together our environmental, sustainability, social and governance initiatives under one clear framework, helping our customers make informed procurement decisions and achieve their own ESG objectives.

CleanHorizon is our commitment to delivering cleaning and hygiene solutions that reduce environmental impact, support ethical business practices and create long-term value for customers, communities and future generations. It encompasses every aspect of our operation, from responsible sourcing and carbon reduction through to waste minimisation, employee wellbeing and supply chain governance.

Our approach is built on recognised standards and measurable action. We operate an integrated management system certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, maintain an active Carbon Reduction Plan with a commitment to Net Zero by 2030, and have been independently assessed through EcoVadis for our sustainability performance.

Through innovative initiatives such as Windmill Refill, Windmill Synergy, digital compliance systems, precision dosing solutions and sustainable packaging programmes, we help customers reduce waste, lower plastic consumption, minimise chemical overuse and improve operational efficiency. At the same time, our investments in energy-efficient facilities, low-emission transport, ethical sourcing and community support programmes ensure sustainability remains embedded throughout our business.

For procurement teams, CleanHorizon provides confidence that AUK Hygiene is committed to responsible growth, regulatory compliance and continuous improvement. For customers, it means access to practical solutions that support environmental targets without compromising cleaning performance, safety or value.

CleanHorizon is more than a sustainability programme. It is our long-term commitment to creating cleaner environments, stronger communities and a more sustainable future for the cleaning and hygiene industry.
