The opening ceremony of the Green Cleaning Network & King MICE Cleaning Institute Guangzhou Chapter was successfully held on Dec. 16, 2021, in Guangzhou, China.
More than 30 guests from Guangdong Provincial Property Industry Association, Guangzhou Municipal Property Industry Association, Guangzhou Sanitation Industry Association, Guangzhou Property Manager Association, Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) and Guangzhou JSS system, and members of GCN China & King MICE Cleaning Institute attended the event.
Thomas King, founder of the Green Cleaning Network China and King MICE Cleaning Institute, introduced the vision and mission of the consortium.
He said that the Green Cleaning Movement and Green Cleaning Top 1,000 Professionals Program in South China would be further facilitated by the Guangzhou Chapter led by Feng Tao, JSS CEO, and Guangzhou Chapter.
Stephen Ashkin, founder of the Green Cleaning Network and Father of Green Cleaning, was connected via video conferencing and sent his warmest congratulations for the establishment of the Green Cleaning Network & King MICE Cleaning Institute Guangzhou Chapter.
Ashkin states:
The Chinese cleaning industry has the potential to become a global leader in protecting the health of cleaning personnel and building occupants, while simultaneously reducing negative impacts on the environment.
He also believes that the Guangzhou Chapter will be a model that can be followed throughout China and around the globe.
Further, Ashkin states:
Rather than the ‘race to the bottom’ that only looks at the cheapest approach to cleaning, the Green Cleaning Network will focus on advancing and encouraging innovative green technologies and cleaning for health strategies, along with how the cleaning industry can contribute to a more sustainable future. And to achieve this with a focus that makes sense in the local community.
Feng Tao, JSS CEO and Guangzhou Chapter Chairman of the Green Cleaning Network China and King MICE Cleaning Institute, says “he has a big responsibility to further develop the Green Cleaning movement in South China with the support of the local associations and peers with spreading the mission, values and goals of the Green Cleaning Network China and King MICE Cleaning Institute.”

Guangzhou Property Manager Association, and Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) expressed their strong support of the initiatives as well.
According to Thomas King, “the establishment of Guangzhou Chapter of Green Cleaning Network China & King MICE Cleaning Institute marks a significant milestone for the Green Cleaning Movement for protecting the people’s health and environment in China.”
