‘Sustainability crunch’ in the facilities sector

Facilities management and property companies are struggling to implement and manage sustainability policies.

The latest annual survey from the British Institute of Facilities Management (BIFM) reveals a 20% decline in confidence among businesses in their environmental, sustainability and CSR policies compared with 2014.¹

Only 40% of respondents said they thought their organisation was ‘very good’ or ‘excellent’ at implementing sustainability, compared with more than half (60%) last year and 43% in 2013.
