A PLANET MARK CERTIFIED BUSINESS
At UhUb we have structured our business to be as near to zero impact as possible and as such are proud to have been awarded The Planet Mark Certification.
CARBON OFFSETTING WITH CARBON FOOTPRINT LTD
Working with Carbon Footprint acroos a range of initiatives enables us to ensure we operate as a carbon negative business.
TIME FOR ACTION 2020 hubTalks
At our Time For Action event at WWF we shared hubTalks from a range of speakers & thought leaders around their experiences and vision for sustainability in the sector.
OUR COMMITMENT & PROMISE
Our philosophy is that doing what we love shouldn't cost the earth, and we love doing UhUb. So why then would we be a negative impact on the world we love that we will be leaving to the people we love.
We decided not to be!
As UhUb as is a Network structured business with a ‘work where you want’ approach, we felt this should not be difficult to do.
And guess what, it isn’t!
Also we want encourage everyone we work with to consider the impact they have in all they do, whether holding a meeting, heating their homes, choosing a cleaning product, or traveling abroad.
But firstly, we have to lead by example so each year we are measured by Planet First for our Planet Mark Certification (the first App to do so), and each year any CO2 we do use, plus a bit extra, is offset using the Carbon Footprint schemes.
Secondly, we have to spread the message, so in 2020 we started our ‘Time for Action’ series of events at WWF's Living Planet Centre, where 100 guests from around the Cleaning sector join us and a range of speakers sharing their stories and insights. Something we will continue (pandemics allowing) throughout the decade.
It is our promise, not to just be Low Carbon, or even Carbon Neutral, but to being Carbon Negative. Not just that but we decided to take the view that CO2 offsetting should be considered 'profit margin'.
It is our commitment to help others get there too, whether through UhUb with training, product choice, sharing information, or promoting tools for good.
SOCIAL IMPACT
UhUb is focused on helping those that have been dealt a bad hand by circumstance. To this end UhUb is extremely happy to support a fantastic organisation that assist the Homeless and Ex-Homeless back into work and on a better path. Click the logo to find out more.
This is not just a random act of charity, this is personal.
Our MD, Stephen, spent some time in his teenage years homeless, and because of his experience and the understanding he has of the effect homelessness can have on a person, he is determined to help others escape, and recover from the experience by making philanthropy in this area part of the UhUb DNA.
Stephen says; 'At UhUb we consider social benefit, like our CO2 offsetting, to be a 'profit margin', one that all businesses should be determined to create. We find our Client Community feel much the same. I am looking forward to a long relationship with HoSB and our Community and to help where we can in their efforts. Whilst the process of considering where we can help has meant revisiting a time in my life I had put behind me, which is often difficult and painful, its worth it to help even just a handful of individuals back on their feet'.

Stephen Goodall
Founder & MD
I am really excited about the effect whole workforce training and engagement will have on the cleaning industry over the coming years. What started as a good idea has become a commitment to improve education delivery in the sector.
Paul Griffiths
Operations Director
'It's great to be part of a solution which truly engages with employees by improving their opportunities, while helping our Clients deliver quality services. Closely collaborating with our Clients on improving all areas of UhUb is an exciting way to develop our offering'
Julian Baker,
Chief Technical Development Officer
UhUb is a new way of doing things. Taking advantage of current technology in a new way to embrace peoples love of phones and maximise BYOD is the way forward, and UhUb is at the forefront.
WHY WE CREATED UhUb?
The UhUb team is small.
We like it that way.
It enables us to respond quickly to new needs, ideas, directions in technology, or the market. But make no mistake we are not only techies. Far from it!
We love our concept and we love the way we are able to deliver it, but some of our team are individuals that have spent 10+ years in the Cleaning and Facilities industry, experienced in both Development and Operations. Or in other words have been where you are and, understand the issues you face.
Between us we have sold, mobilised, and transferred everything from single cleaner contracts, through to multi country TFM contracts, and over the years we have become aware that the ‘Win’ and the ‘GP’ is often being achieved at the cost of the cleaners work life quality.
One day we got together and realised that we all had the same main frustration.
Training and Development always promised, usually paid for, but rarely properly delivered to cleaning staff in a way that truly makes a difference to them, the business, and the end client.
We wanted to change that.
Not just as a box ticking exercise during the tender process or a promise across the table, but in a way that genuinely allows workers to feel and do better, in quality of delivery, a feeling of social connection, and by providing real demonstrable recorded training that can lead to actual career progression.
So UhUb was developed, and with more than 700,000 cleaning staff in UK alone, most of whom are low paid, and often remote or lone workers, there was, and still is, a lot to do. We believe as key workers they all deserve better and that ‘better’ can be provided whilst benefiting the company too.
In short it is our vision to improve the opportunities for those who often have none. All whilst benefiting the industry as a whole through information flow in a way which further strengthens opportunities to workers both within our Client Community and as part of our Social Impact ethos.
We know it’s been difficult to achieve these things until now. After all, how do you train and include an individual who works late night or early mornings on their own?
No problem, everyone is in the same boat, but now there is a new way...UhUb.
