Collaborate To Accumulate: How Facilities Management Can Collectively Reach Climate Goals
With emissions targets firmly under the microscope of a wide range of sectors, Paul de Kock, head of projects at Pinnacle Group, discusses how businesses and their facilities management teams can deliver a partner-led approach to reach our climate objectives.
With COP27 emphasising a growing global focus on how climate targets can be reached, businesses are beginning to take a renewed approach to their net zero strategies and how they can do their part in tackling the challenges we collectively face.
Last year, the UK government formalised the commitments it made as part of the 2015 Paris Agreement, pledging that all sectors of the economy will be fully decarbonised in 2050. This is a massive statement of intent, and one which needs nationwide buy-in to be successful.
As businesses that manage and maintain buildings, with the health and wellbeing of the local communities who use them in mind, our industry faces a collective responsibility. Our sector is one of the biggest sources of emissions, especially those created by our supply chains.
The key to tackling this is to understand where we have come from – whether that be through thorough carbon accounting, baseline measurements or simply taking stock of the current situation – before setting a proper course for where we’re heading. We can then incorporate the same Science Based Targets (SBT), that are being used as national and international benchmarks of sustainability success.
