About the Event:
An organization today is judged not just based on the quality of the goods and services it produces but also on the care it shows people (both inside and outside the organization) and the environment. Additionally, many global drivers are pushing sustainability to the forefront of business, government, and social conversations throughout the world. These drivers include:
Awareness of the finite nature of resources available to support a steadily growing world population.
Increasing use by governments of incentives and penalties to change corporate and individual behavior.
The speed and breadth of information have placed every organization under a microscope of public opinion about what constitutes acceptable corporate behavior.
As business leaders step up the corporate response to the sustainability agenda, facility managers are increasingly being asked to deliver support service that is broader and deeper than ever before. Sustainable development, as a concept, forces organizations to shift their focus from short-term to long-term. Facility management is a vital function, a service that supports the people who deliver the core business and is essential to the demand organization’s aspirations for corporate social responsibility.
