Welcome to our first annual Sustainability Magazine, 2023.

When I entered the market back in 1992 I had one clear goal in mind: transforming the cleaning industry by bringing pride and pleasure back into cleaning. Since then i-team Global has been creating innovative products with the cleaning operator in mind, which make cleaning more rewarding, safer, and sustainable.

Innovation and social responsibility, thus, are the pillars our company is built on. Our product development has always been driven by the goal of empowering cleaners with the highest quality sustainable cleaning equipment. Products which make cleaning more efficient and faster, which are easier to manoeuvre and handle, which enable cleaners to experience job satisfaction and longevity. Products which use less water and energy, and reduce the reliance on chemicals – thereby benefiting the environment. This way being good for the planet and the people on it has always been at the root of our work.

Now one of our key focus areas is talking about and sharing our sustainability mission, efforts, and project. Over the years i-team Global has experienced so much innovation and development, and we want to give this the spotlight it deserves. Communicating about sustainability is crucial for so many reasons: for holding ourselves accountable, inspiring the organisation internally, motivating others externally, and meeting an increasing amount of policies and regulations requiring clear communication.

That is why this year, for the first time, we are purposely and regularly communicating about our sustainability efforts. This Sustainability Magazine is the result of that goal, and the first of many. This edition features so many projects I am so proud of, and I want to extend a huge thank you to the team, everyone involved, and the entire organisation for their efforts in all these initiatives.

From the launch of the very first i-mop, our mobile waterwell, to submitting our B Impact Assessment in order to become a certified B Corporation it has been an amazing journey of innovation and improvement. I know that more things are in store for us in the coming years, and I hope you will join us on this.
