XLNT is founded
XLNT Workplace was founded in 2014, under the name Naturlig Rent Sverige (NRSE), by Aria Zargarian and Björn Lundgren with sustainability as a business idea after Aria learned about CSR at university. Together they saw the need for a sustainable alternative in the cleaning industry and decided to start a cleaning company that would offer both the market and the people working in the industry a better alternative.
Start making a difference
At the time, the cleaning industry had (and probably still has) a bad reputation. When XLNT Workplace was founded, cleaners were the most common profession among foreign-born people, which meant that there were great opportunities to be able to make a difference in social sustainability by helping to integrate people into the world of work.
A sustainable milestone
XLNT Workplace aimed to be certified by Svanen because it is the strictest sustainability certification in the industry. Svanen places high demands on the entire business in all three areas of sustainability; environmental, social and business sustainability.
The swan means working systematically according to established criteria while reporting to and being checked by a third party so that there are collective agreements, for example, and that the criteria are complied with by constantly updating them.
In 2015 XLNT Workplace became the youngest company in the world to be Svanenbranded and to this day less than 1% of cleaning companies are Svanenbranded.
A good match
Thanks to the sustainable approach, our value proposition has been well matched with other companies that think and choose sustainably. Over time, customers began to demand more services for the workplace, which led to a natural evolution of XLNT's service offering.
Sustainable future
Most of the work is still done in-house, but since our customers have begun to demand more comprehensive solutions, we have created good relationships with partners who stand for the same value proposition as us; sustainability, high quality and service and who are the best at what they do.
It is very important for us that our customers feel that there is a red thread in our offer and that the idea behind having a complete supplier and a primary contact person actually works as intended.
