BIFM LAUNCHES 11TH ANNUAL SUSTAINABILITY
SURVEY The 11th annual Sustainability Survey conducted by the British Institute of Facilities Management (BIFM) is now open.
As the longest running of its kind in the UK, the survey, supported by BIFM’s Sustainability Special Interest Group (SIG), and sponsored by British Gas, acts as a barometer of how FM professionals and the businesses they represent are engaging with the sustainability agenda by identifying key trends and influences.
The results provide insight into the way the FM profession is tackling the increasing demand for sustainable business by exploring who is leading the sustainability programme within an organisation and how it is being measured and reported, as well as the latest developments, such as new legislation.
The survey comprises a series of questions on the role of sustainability within facilities management and how it is being embedded into day-to-day practices, the changes it creates and the potential opportunities it offers the profession. Areas covered this year include social value, energy and digitalisation.
BIFM’s research and information manager Peter Brogan said: “With so much of the sustainability agenda sitting within the FM function, facilities management professionals are uniquely placed to offer highly valuable insights into current sustainability practices and future needs taking place in workplaces across the UK economy.
