About ISS

Connecting people and places to make the world work better

At ISS Hong Kong, we work side by side with customers to understand the realities of service delivery and the people who rely on it every day. Our placemakers are trained, equipped, and empowered to respond to challenges, identify opportunities, and help create environments that work better for everyone who uses them.

PEOPLE MAKE PLACES

We believe that people make places — and places make people. From strategy through to operations, ISS partners with customers to create, manage, and maintain environments that work well, support performance, and improve everyday experiences. Customers choose us because we help make places easier, safer, more productive, and more enjoyable to use.

Our people care about the people they support, bringing a human touch to the places they help create and maintain. Every ISS person working in a customer environment is part of one ISS team — trained, equipped, motivated, and committed to high standards of service.By working closely with customers day by day, we build a practical understanding of the user experience and the operational realities behind it. We use data, insight, and service expertise to develop intelligent solutions that help manage risk, improve consistency, reduce complexity, and support better outcomes.

As a global company with a strong heritage of fairness, equality, and inclusion, we empower our people to respond when challenges arise and to act when improvements can be made. Our values shape how we work, how we serve, and how we help customers achieve their purpose — whether that means supporting healing in hospitals, productivity in offices, movement through transport hubs, or performance in industrial environments.

Unity

We trust each other and believe in creating equality, inclusion and a sense of belonging for all – a culture where everyone can be their authentic selves.  We trust. 

That includes building diverse talent and teams, creating space for collaboration, as well as leaning on and learning from one another. We know that when we act together, we deliver a better experience for our customers and their communities. Only together and united, can we deliver on our purpose.

We have a proud heritage of fairness, equality and inclusion. Every day, we strive to create a culture of open communication and collaboration, where differences and individual contributions are respected and celebrated.

Responsibility

Indifference is immoral. We care about what we do and for whom we do it. We care. 

The health and well-being of our people and those we serve is our number one priority. We want our people to be happy,  
to feel valued and to thrive. This means putting all our efforts into creating safe and nurturing working environments and enhancing the communities we work within.

Entrepreneurship

Action speaks louder than words. All our employees have a ‘license to act’ and are expected to do so. We act. 

At ISS, we lead by example. That means empowering people to act and innovate - whether that be to suggest improvements and better ways of working, or to call out behaviour which undermines our vision and values. Our people know they are empowered to do the right thing.

Our people are part of one big global family that all share the same purpose – delivering exceptional service experiences.  
We provide a skilled, empowered and motivated workforce who seek to deliver the highest standards 24/7, 365 days a year. 

OUR LEGACY
Our history and our people

ISS as we know it today was formed in 1934, with origins dating back to 1901. What began as a business providing watchmen to local companies has evolved significantly over time, but the values that shaped ISS from the beginning have remained constant. Connecting people and places has always been central to our purpose and to how we help the world work better.

ISS Hong Kong began its journey in 1995. Today, we are proud to have more than 11,000 placemakers serving over 1,500 clients across 700+ locations in Hong Kong. Our core services include cleaning, security, facility support, and technical support — each delivered with care, professionalism, and a commitment to excellence.
