BIFM Sustainability in FM Survey 10 years on


BIFM Sustainability in FM Survey 2007

“The results from the first annual BIFM sustainability survey indicate that the majority of FM’s who responded to the survey are concerned with existing issues (i.e. Those which are currently included in their sustainability policies or that the FM themselves are responsible for) and did not show as much of an interest in issues which may be more important in the future.”



“These current issues included resource management such as:

> Building Energy Consumption

> Waste Management and Recycling

> Water Consumption

> Carbon Footprinting



“The barriers to effectively managing sustainability” were seen as:

> Time Constraints (43%)

> Lack of Knowledge (42%)

> Senior management commitment (lack) (41%)

> Financial Constraints (40%)

> Organisational engagement (28%)

> Physical/historical constraints(25%)

> Customer constraints (19%)

Looking back on the first 10 years of the survey



Looking back on the first 10 years of the survey

> “Sustainability as a thread that is now running through everything is being better understood and therefore will have an influence on the culture of an organisation.”

> “However, how this is reflected and communicated to the various teams and levels within an organisation does affect how well sustainability is perceived and implemented.”



Forward view of the next 10 years



Empowering facilities teams

> “Whilst financial constraints have long been an issue for facilities managers, some of the rising barriers relate less to physical issues and more towards engagement and skills.”

> “In particular issue around organisational engagement are now most significant management barrier…” (This was also seen in the 2015 survey)



Empowering facilities teams

> Agents for change

> Technology

> BIM

> Lifecycle data

> Wellbeing data

> Information management



FM Supply Chain and Procurement Practices



FM Supply Chain and Procurement Practices

> “Procurement of FM services focussed upon lifecycle benefits and outcome measures rather than bottom line costs.”

> “An understanding of what this means – is needed - to enable an informed decision.”

> “Measures and metrics developed to help drive performance aligned with the organisational cultures.”



Embedding Sustainability in Working Practices

> “FMs take on responsibility for initiating change in sustainability measures and promoting a programme to deliver the benefits. This will mean taking on a more proactive role in the organisation.”

> “Delivering solutions that are not just “compliance” based but adding value to the bottom line financially and non financially to the benefit of the organisation.”
