Industry Support

Driving Performance Across Complex Sectors

Today’s organizations expect more than just understanding of the contracted facility services; they want partners who deeply understand their needs. By leveraging our successes for 40,000+ clients worldwide, ISS has the expertise to provide integrated solutions to organizations from nearly all industries.

A Prioritized Approach

Curating Services to Meet Unique Needs

A facility strategy that optimizes operations and production while elevating employee experiences, managing spend, minimizing risk, enabling compliance and upholding brand cannot be overstated. ISS understands this dynamic — and that individual requirements complicate the workplace equation. We work with clients to define their unique needs and develop tailored facility management and on-site dining programs that reflect their profile as well as best practices for their industries.

While ISS has the expertise to assist clients from nearly every sector, we offer specialized insight in several prioritized segments in North America.

Financial-and-Professional-Services

Financial & Professional Services

ISS provides functionality, security and efficiency by integrating people, places, processes and technology — with the employee experience at the center. Our hospitality-driven solutions reflect business needs, space use, employee profile, regulatory requirements and sustainability commitments — whether for a single office, headquarters campus or complex global portfolio.

Technology

Technology

ISS delivers agile, integrated facility and culinary services to meet global needs through strategic, sustainable, wellness-driven solutions founded on operational excellence, risk mitigation and connecting people and places. In addition to office space, we serve datacenters, critical environments, event venues, conference centers and manufacturing environments.

Life-Sciences

Life Sciences

ISS understands both the criticality of the work performed by the life sciences and the importance of secure and compliant facilities. Our teams create places that inspire world-class patient solutions and ignite innovation while ensuring the highest quality health, safety and compliance measures — safeguarding patient care and enhancing stakeholder value.

Aviation

Airports are uniquely challenging as they incorporate a mix of property types in a 24/7/365 location.

From public areas like terminals, lounges and aircraft to back-of-house operations, ISS provides solutions founded on operational excellence, risk mitigation, hospitality-driven traveler experiences and employee satisfaction.

Manufacturing

Manufacturing

ISS offers strategies for mission-critical operations tailored to space, reflective of industry principles and best practices, delivered by experts and designed to enhance continuity, sustainability, risk management and well-being. Clients also benefit from our jurisdiction and regulated environments experience, compliance and HSEQ standards, and scalable self-delivery.
