The FM industry needs leaders to step forward to enable change that will allow it to become more sustainable and reduce its environmental impact.
While regulation will push organisations to meet compliance requirements, standards will provide frameworks for improvement and technology can enable real and tangible reductions in carbon, energy and waste, it is leadership that will drive financial support, organisational behaviours, urgency and the change management requires to meet sustainability targets.
The question is will client organisations step up and support the cost of change, or do service
providers need to adapt their value proposition and take a leading role?
