ISS named world's best outsourcing company

08 May 2013

The International Association of Outsourcing Professionals has ranked ISS as the #1 on its annual list of the world's best outsourcing service providers The Global Outsourcing 100

''We are very proud and deeply honoured that IAOP has recognised ISS as the world's best outsourcing company,'' said Jeff Gravenhorst, ISS Group CEO. He continued: ''We take the ranking as a vote of confidence in ISS and our global platform from which we integrate and self-deliver a complete set of facility ser-vices such as catering, cleaning, security, property and support services across the globe.

''I would also like to thank our 534,200 employees around the world. Without their deep engagement and all the purpose and pride they put into their daily efforts to service our customers, we would never have achieved this honourable title,'' said Jeff Gravenhorst.

ISS has been on The Global Outsourcing 100' list for several years. In 2011, ISS was ranked second, but this is the first time that ISS has achieved the number one position.

''As applicants continually raise the bar and as the outsourcing industry continues to grow and mature in many markets, competition is tougher,'' said Jag Dalal, Managing Director of Thought Leadership, IAOP and chairman of the judges' panel. ''Being named to The Global Outsourcing 100 is a great achievement, particularly given the strong competition, and we are proud to recognise ISS for their excellence.''

"As 2013 begins to see moderate growth in the economy, choosing the right outsourcing partners will be more important than ever," said IAOP Chairman Michael Corbett. ''The Global Outsourcing 100 and the World's Best Outsourcing Advisors lists help companies easily identify partners that will help them emerge as leaders."
