Overview
With sustainability sitting at the top of the global agenda, it’s hardly surprising that it’s a major talking (and acting) point for a lynchpin profession like workplace and facilities management.
And what is this concept ESG – Environmental, Social, Governance - that has crept into our lexicon?
Do they amount to the same thing? What opportunity does this represent to FM to demonstrate the difference it can make to business, social and environmental outcomes? What kind of approach is needed? Where does social value fit in?
At IWFM’s Conference last month, Insight Partner EMCOR UK discussed the importance of purpose, collaboration and disruptive synergy in achieving and measuring meaningful, sustainable outcomes.
To explore these concepts and how they all fit together, join us Wednesday and get involved.
Your panel for this episode:
- Jenny Thomas (host): Director of Communication and Insight, IWFM
- Jeremy Campbell: Executive Director, Marketing and Business Development, EMCOR UK
