Our operations involve companies and institutions all over the country. We systematically work towards reducing our carbon footprint. Upon renewing the transportation fleet we look to renewable energy solutions and smaller and more fuel-efficient vehicles.In our operations we use various materials to clean, remove stains, disinfect and protect surfaces. We offer our customers environmentally certified products and procedures that reduce the environmental impact of cleaning and maintenance.

Learning Icelandic

We offer our employees the opportunity to attend language courses in work-related Icelandic in co-operation with The Ministry of Education and Culture. Over 1000 of our employees have attended such courses.
Additionally, we provide employees access to the Bara Tala language app. This innovative app is designed to help users learn Icelandic at their own pace, with interactive lessons, practice exercises, and real-life conversation scenarios. The app is a great complement to our in-person courses, allowing employees to continue their learning journey anytime, anywhere.
