Overview
Join us for ‘Raising FM’s value through accurate emissions measurements’
The role of facilities management is changing, specifically with the increased need for action from organisations on climate change. This presents opportunities for FM to increase the value of its role by understanding carbon measurement and taking greater responsibility for emissions.
For service providers, doing this will allow FMs to engage more in the strategic future of its clients and will drive up its value. For the in-house professional, it will elevate the value of the role and bring together multiple elements of data to inform the business strategy and achieve stakeholder needs.
In this webinar, the SFMI (Sustainable Facilities Management Index) will present an understanding of carbon in FM and how it is influencing a key project to measure scope three emissions. They will be joined Mike Lynch (Climate Lead at NatWest) and Reid Cunningham (Strategic Director at BAM FM) to discuss the role of FM in managing emissions and meeting net zero targets, which will help build added value for the workplace and facilities management sector.
