The FM Front Line of Net Zero
Facilities Management sits at the operational heart of sustainability. From energy performance and asset lifecycle decisions to waste streams, workplace behaviours and procurement choices, FM teams influence the majority of an organisation’s real-world carbon impact. Yet too often, Net Zero is treated as a design ambition or reporting exercise rather than an operational discipline. This session explores how Facilities Managers are becoming the true drivers of climate action, translating ESG commitments into measurable outcomes. Through practical insight and lived experience, this discussion will challenge the perception of FM as a support function and reposition it as a strategic force in achieving climate targets.
