Sustainability And Environmental Responsibilities In Facility Management.

As the world moves toward sustainability management, facility managers can adopt sustainable practices to maintain a balance between humans and nature. Ensure there is no negative influence on the environment. This can also enhance your brand image in the industry, and it benefits everyone, including your employees.

Sustainability through the Facility Management Industry

Implement sustainability policies such as energy efficiency, water conservation, waste management, and reducing carbon emissions. Implementing sustainability policies will educate your employees about environmental measures. In your daily facility management operation, you can implement these practices. An energy-efficient future begins with a building, which serves as the primary source of most of the global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

What can a facility manager do to reduce environmental impact?

Energy management

Energy efficiency plays a crucial role in environmental management. Conduct regular energy audits to identify any inefficiencies. Adopt energy-saving technologies such as automating light devices, smart HVAC systems, LEDs, solar panels, and so on.

Water conservation

Check or create an agenda to conserve water by minimizing water consumption and grey water recycling for non-potable purposes. Through low-flow fixtures, water recycling systems, and leak detection, you can save some water.

Waste Management

Reduce the single-use items and implement composting systems. Conduct comprehensive recycling programs to minimize contamination and ensure proper disposal.

Green Building certification

Obtain a green building and sustainable building certification, such as the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM), and WELL certifications, in order to meet their standards.

Transportation and Mobility

Develop and advocate for green transportation initiatives such as sharing taxis, public transportation, and electric bicycles. Conduct innovative programs, like a carpooling program.

Sustainable Procurement

Prioritize eco-friendly products that have minimal environmental impact and choose energy-efficient machinery and environmentally responsible models to reduce long-term operational costs and environmental harm.

Facility managers are in a position to influence and drive sustainability initiatives that not only enhance the building's environmental footprint but also reduce operating costs and improve overall performance.  By focusing on energy management, waste reduction, water conservation, and sustainable procurement, facility managers can lower operational costs, extend the lifespan of assets, improve employee productivity, and create a healthier, more sustainable work environment.

Conclusion:

Implementing all these measures, your company not only contributes to a thriving earth, but it will also benefit from your financial savings for it. For facility managers, it's not just an environmental concern, but it's a financial strategy. Always remember that the first investment is for the long-term savings and enhanced corporate reputation; all will advantage your company's bottom line.

While the world works together to reduce and eliminate the threats of #covid_19, we hope you all take the time to safely enjoy the beauty and wonder of our amazing planet. . Over the last year we reduced our fleet vehicles size to reduce our emissions, and diverted nearly half a ton of food scraps to community compost which will feed future gardens. Start doing your part today, reduce your waste while home, turn off unnecessary lighting and electronics, and if possible, start composting your waste too (for help there you can get help from@our friends at @offbeetcompost). Do your part, this is our only home, and it’s about time we started taking better care of our #earthmother. 🌎 #earthday #earthday2020 #grateful #gratefultastes #artisanalspreadsformorethanjustbreads #ecocompany #greencompany #greenpractices #compost #offbeet #trulylocal #reducedcarbonemissions #reducedfleetsize #mothership #theresnoplanb🌍 #allyouneedislove https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Sb0FjnZHf/?igshid=clt0tdnp71no
