The Cleaning Accountability Framework (CAF) is an independent not-for-profit entity comprised of representatives from across the cleaning supply chain, including
- property investors, owners and managers
- cleaning companies
- employee representatives
- industry associations
CAF recognises that in order to put the industry on a more sustainable footing, all those involved in the cleaning supply chain have to work together. CAF also acknowledges that there are leading companies who have adopted best practice procurement policies, contracts and auditing tools and that these need to be recognised and promoted.
