Louisville-based Facilities Management Services Acknowledged As Breakthrough Social Impact Business

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - March 1, 2019 - PRLog -- As its mission statement specifies, Facilities Management Services pbc (FMS) is not only a leader in the janitorial industry, it's part of a new generation of corporations leading the effort to conduct business in a better way. A caring way; a meaningful way; and a human way, as FMS's recent Real Leaders MagazineTop 100 Impact Company Award affirms.

With 850+ employees and continual growth since its purchase by the Koloms family of Louisville in 2001, FMS is the first janitorial service in the world to become a certified B-Corporation, as well as a registered Public Benefit Corporation in Kentucky. Its social programming, often involving non-profits, customers, and the public sector, works toward improving the financial and physical health of employees and their families. As FMS President Scott Koloms states, "We're convinced the path towards sustainable success is through the well-being of our team members and the communities in which they live."

Real Leaderscreated the Top 100 Impact Company list, together with Big Path Capital and B Lab, to rank 'the top companies applying capitalism for greater profit and greater good'. "We were very impressed with the quality of applicants who were subjected to a rigorous review process for this first-ever 100 Top Impact Companies Awards," says Mark Van Ness, Founder, Real Leaders.

Koloms adds, "We are incredibly honored to receive this award and feel very privileged to be in the company of other positive impact organizations throughout North America that also leverage their business models in favor of financial well-being and employee well-being."

Other Top 100 recipients include national and regional companies EO Products, Network for Good, Schoolzilla, TAOS Ski Valley, Andean Naturals, Forrest Firm, Natural Systems Utilities and several other companies that espouse a socially impactful way of doing business.
