Supply Chain Sustainability School
for Facilities ManagementSustainability represents both significant challenges and opportunities for UK industry. We are more sustainability-focussed, our customers are demanding more sustainable practices, our stakeholders are exerting more pressure and legislation is becoming increasingly stringent. The desire for a greener, ethical and more sustainable supply chain is greater than ever.
In 2009 approximately 43% of the UK’s carbon emissions came from buildings. In addition poor waste management and inefficient use of resources can result in sustainability impacts; they are also of course where we all work, live and play. As a group, the UK FM sector is involved in maintaining these assets and we need to embrace the sustainability agenda, or simply risk losing out to our competitors.
The FM Sustainability School represents a collaborative sector approach to developing sustainability competence in our shared supply chain.
EQUANS was one of nine founding members of the School for FM during 2013 and was there for the launch – www.supplychainschool/FM – in January 2015. The School is a managed independently by Action Sustainability and is available as a FREE resource to any supplier.
Supplier Registration and progress through the Supply Chain School for FM is a key driver of our continued commitment to being a leader within the industry toward a brighter, more sustainable future.
As part of the Supplier Charter, we ask all our suppliers to register with the Supply Chain Sustainability School and use the School's free of charge resources for continuous improvement.
