Scope 3 Research
Positioning FM as a key player in driving decarbonisation through the supply chain
Our Scope 3 research project emerged from the understanding that existing whole-building carbon assessments often overlook FM-related emissions, leading to incomplete carbon calculations for buildings. This oversight minimises the full environmental impact of buildings and reduces the effectiveness of sustainability initiatives beginning from the design phase. We saw an opportunity to address this gap, positioning FM as an essential driver of decarbonisation.

Scope 3 Framework for Facilities Management (FM)
Working with committed FM providers, we developed our ‘Scope 3 Framework for FM’, released in 2023. The framework provides a standardised approach for measuring Scope 3 emissions in FM. Download your copy below.

“The complexity of reporting Scope 3 Emissions for operational buildings needs to be considered now to support FMs role helping organisations achieve net zero. IWFM has been involved with SFMI and their Partners to produce the Scope 3 FM Framework to help standardise the reporting requirements. We are looking forward to supporting the next phase to roll out globally.”
