Leading Green Cleaning Products Manufacturer Recognized As One of the “Best of the Best”
Cypress, CA (December 7, 2018) – Earth Friendly Products®, the maker of ECOS® environmentally friendly cleaning products, has been named a Top Workplace by the Orange County Register. This prestigious award recognizes over 100 companies in Orange County, California, that have created a positive working environment for their employees. The awards were presented on December 6th at the City National Grove of Anaheim.
Employees from Earth Friendly Products’ Cypress headquarters participated in a survey that evaluated key company attributes such as leadership, values, benefits, training, compensation, and overall workplace culture.
“We are humbled and honored to be recognized as a top workplace,” says Kelly Vlahakis-Hanks, president and CEO of Earth Friendly Products®. “This award really belongs to our dedicated employees who contribute to the culture of support and sustainability we’ve created,” continues Vlahakis-Hanks.
A family-owned and operated company for over 50 years, Earth Friendly Products® is a pioneer in the green cleaning products industry. The company is the first to achieve the “trifecta” of sustainable manufacturing—carbon neutrality, water neutrality, and Platinum Zero Waste certification—and it uses 100% renewable energy to make its plant-powered cleaners at its facilities in California, Washington, Illinois, and New Jersey.
Part of the company’s sustainability program is its commitment to “high-road employer” practices, paying its employees a minimum wage of $17 an hour, well above state and federal levels, and providing employees with family-friendly benefits such as health insurance, family leave, sick time, and onsite wellness programs.
Earth Friendly Products® also offers its employees a unique financial incentive program for making “green” lifestyle choices such as purchasing a low-emissions vehicle, installing home solar panels, and relocating closer to work.
