The Sustainability Shift in Cleaning & FM
Sustainability expectations within the cleaning and facilities management sector have evolved rapidly in recent years. What was once viewed as a compliance exercise is now becoming a commercial differentiator, influencing procurement decisions, supplier selection and long-term client relationships.
In this keynote session, Alan Stenson, CEO of NCZ (Neutral Carbon Zone) and one of the UK’s leading voices on practical sustainability, will explore how the sector is transitioning from high-level commitments to measurable, data-driven action.
Drawing on real industry examples, Alan will outline:
• Why carbon measurement is becoming essential for service providers
• The growing importance of Scope 3 emissions and supply chain collaboration
• How sustainability expectations from clients and procurement teams are changing
• Practical steps cleaning and FM companies can take to stay competitive
This session will provide delegates with a clear understanding of where the sector is heading, what organisations should prioritise today, and how sustainability can move from a reporting obligation to a strategic advantage.
The session will conclude with a short Q&A, giving the audience an opportunity to explore practical challenges and opportunities within their own organisations.
