Principle Cleaning Services (Principle) worked in partnership with BNP Paribas Real Estate (BNPPRE) from April 2018 to February 2020 prior to the handover to JLL.
During our tenure with BNP Paribas we established an award winning waste operation in partnership with BPR. Our approach focused on occupier engagement to increase recycling levels in line with the Crowns environmental targets for the future.
Principle and its partners’ – BNP Paribas and BPR Paper Round (BPR) – mission was to improve recycling rates across the St James’s portfolio through a unique waste management scheme, which aims to send zero waste to landfill and process a range of different waste streams in an effective and environmentally-friendly way.
This included removing waste bags from streets to improve the image of the area, reducing vehicle numbers and emissions, consolidating waste, improving services to customers by offering competitive pricing and free recycling advice, and accurate reporting via a live portal.
The partners worked effortlessly together to create a waste scheme for all occupiers – achieving a high level of service for waste collections that remained agile to the demands of the end users.
In November 2019, Principle Cleaning Services and BNP Paribas won the Partners in Corporate Award at the 2019 PFM Partnership Awards.
