Why Cleaning Industry Advocacy Matters to Every Facility We Serve
The cleaning and facility solutions industry doesn't just respond to change. It helps shape it.
The release of ISSA's 2025-2026 Advocacy Impact Report highlights how manufacturers, distributors, service providers, and industry leaders can work together to advance policies that protect public health, strengthen businesses, and improve the environments where people work, learn, receive care, and gather.
At Hospeco Brands Group, we believe advocacy is an important extension of innovation. Developing products that solve today's challenges is only part of our responsibility. Helping create the policies, standards, and industry initiatives that improve facilities for years to come is equally important.
Advocacy that moves the industry forward
-
This year's ISSA Advocacy Impact Report highlights several achievements that will have a lasting impact on our industry, including:
- Supporting Senate passage of the WIPPES Act to establish national "Do Not Flush" labeling requirements that help protect wastewater infrastructure.
- Securing approval of the cleaning industry's first Registered Apprenticeship Program for Cleaning Technicians to strengthen workforce development.
- Advancing legislation supporting EPA's Safer Choice Program and science-based product standards.
- Helping defeat legislation that would have set harmful precedents for cleaning products without scientific support.
Advocacy isn't just about legislation.
It's about creating an environment where innovation can thrive, where facility professionals have access to effective products, where public health decisions are grounded in science, and where businesses can continue investing in better solutions.
When industry organizations work together to establish practical regulations and educate policymakers, customers ultimately benefit through:
- More consistent product standards
- Better workforce development
- Greater confidence in science-based regulations
- Stronger protection of public infrastructure
- Continued investment in innovation
- Hospeco Brands Group's commitment
Leadership is more than manufacturing

We actively support initiatives that improve health, safety, and dignity in the facilities we serve. Whether advocating for menstrual equity through Period Partner, supporting responsible product legislation, or participating in ISSA advocacy efforts, we're committed to helping move the industry forward.
Innovation doesn't end with new products.
It includes helping shape policies that create healthier facilities, stronger businesses, and better outcomes for the communities we serve.
The 2025-2026 ISSA Advocacy Impact Report demonstrates what can be achieved when the cleaning industry speaks with one voice. At Hospeco Brands Group, we're proud to support efforts that strengthen our industry today while helping build a healthier, more sustainable future for tomorrow.
