Sustainability has emerged as a central concern for facilities executives worldwide. With businesses setting ambitious net-zero emissions targets and advancing ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) initiatives to combat climate change and foster resilient facility management and development, the pressure is to incorporate sustainable practices into facility capital planning and project investment.
