The ISS Group was founded in Copenhagen in 1901 and has grown to become one of the world’s leading Facility Services companies. ISS was originally short for International Service System and from 2001 short for Integrated Service Solutions, but is only used as the acronym today.
ISS offers a wide range of services:
ISS has more than 530,000 employees and local operations in over 50 countries across Europe, Asia, North America, Latin America and the Pacific, serving thousands of public and private sector customers. Global revenue in 2011 was DKK 77.6 billion.
ISS employees create value by working as integrated members of our clients’ organisations. A key component of the ISS HR strategy is developing capable employees in all functions. Team spirit and self-governance are encouraged, as is voluntary participation in additional training and multidisciplinary workflows.
Besides developing our employees, ISS ensures compliance with Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) regulations. See our section on Corporate Responsibility here.
We demonstrate our social and ethical commitment through theISS Code of Conduct, our membership in the UN Global Compact and by honouring the principles laid down in the Union Network International (UNI) agreement.
