About the SFMI
Trusted experts in ESG and facilities management

Building lasting value through sustainable property management is a challenge. As a knowledge leader in the facilities management (FM) industry, the SFMI (Sustainable Facilities Management Index) empowers businesses to drive positive impact.
Through our exclusive partnership programme, collaborative forums, trusted assessment framework, and our first-of-its-kind self-assessment tool, we help you achieve measurable results in decarbonisation, social impact and wellbeing strategies.
Knowledge leader in the FM sector
The Sustainable Facilities Management (SFMI) was developed in 2013 by Acclaro Advisory. With over 12 years of industry leadership, we are trusted by major FM providers and professional bodies, and supported by expert sustainability consultants. We offer the only FM sector-specific assessment for ESG performance – available as either a Self-Assessment Tool or a Certified Assessment dependent on an organisation’s maturity level.
As an integrated approach, the SFMI helps FM organisations embed sustainability into culture, management, reporting and service delivery, and measure their progress over time.
“Our involvement in the SFMI continues to develop and enhance our approach to Sustainability in FM. The breadth of categories helps to integrate the sustainability message into different business functions along with requiring a high level of governance and risk management.”
-Anthony Heaton, Senior Environmental Sustainability Manager at BAM FM
