This Achievement Places the Company Among an Elite Group of Business Service Contractors to Have Earned CIMS-GB with Honors Multiple Times
Denver, Colorado – May 12, 2026 – CCS Facility Services announced today that it has earned the Cleaning Industry Management Standard – Green Building (CIMS‑GB) with Honors certification for the fifth time, a distinction achieved by only a small number of contractors globally across the commercial facilities services industry.
Administered by ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry association, CIMS‑GB with Honors is an independent, third‑party certification that evaluates whether a contractor’s management systems, workforce practices, quality controls, and environmental programs meet the industry’s highest standards. Achieving the certification with Honors requires not only complying with the mandatory criteria but also meeting a substantial majority of the recommended best‑practice elements.
“This honor reflects the choices our teams make every day,” Troy Coker, CEO, CCS Facility Services.
Earning CIMS‑GB with Honors five times places CCS in what company leaders describe as “rare air” among business service contractors. While many firms pursue certification once, sustaining it through repeated, rigorous recertification cycles requires a level of operational discipline, documentation, and workforce engagement that few organizations are able to maintain over time.
“This achievement is not the result of a one‑time audit or a short‑term initiative,” said CCS founder and CEO Troy Coker. “It reflects the choices our teams make every day—how work is supervised, how employees are trained, how quality is verified, and how environmental and health standards are embedded into daily operations across our portfolio.”
Unlike programmatic certifications that focus primarily on products or policies, the CIMS‑GB program evaluates how standards are executed in practice. Independent assessors review documentation, interview employees at multiple levels, and visit active work sites to confirm that quality systems, safety protocols, and green cleaning practices are consistently applied—not just written down.
For CCS Facility Services, sustaining CIMS‑GB with Honors over multiple certification cycles has required an ongoing organizational commitment to continuous improvement. This includes standardized training programs, clear accountability structures, documented quality assurance processes, and management commitment to health, safety, and environmental stewardship at every level of the organization.
“CIMS‑GB with Honors is earned daily,” says Bill King, COO. “It lives in how teams show up, how supervisors coach, how issues are documented and resolved, and how standards are protected even when conditions change.
“Our fifth certification confirms that these expectations are part of our operating culture, not a compliance exercise.”
CCS Facility Services supports a diverse portfolio of commercial, governmental, educational, and institutional clients nationwide. The company views repeated CIMS‑GB with Honors certification as both validation of past performance and a framework for future accountability—providing customers with independent assurance that cleaning, safety, and environmental standards are consistently upheld.
