EMAS signed a MOU with RECC on 6 December 2006. The objectives of both organisations are to promote the professionalism of the cleaning and custodian workers.

The Building Custodian is a new job created by integrating Cleaning with minor repairs and replacement work; custodial checking and building defects. EMAS supports this Building Custodian training course to provide value-add environmental services to its members and industry players. EMAS will co-ordinate the cleaning, landscaping and pest control training aspects of the Building Custodian course and the other modules will be conducted by RECC.

With this invaluable partnership, EMAS has been invited by RECC to receive a memento as a supporter of the new Building Custodian project at their Opening Ceremony on 14 August 2007 at NTUC Centre.
