SFMI Self-Assessment Tool
Instantly understand your ESG performance in facilities management
Sustainability is now a prerequisite across facilities management. Organisations are expected to show measurable ESG performance to stakeholders, clients, and internal teams. Yet many facilities management teams struggle to turn ESG ambitions into a clear, actionable plan—often due to limited resources, skills, or in-house expertise.
The SFMI Self-Assessment Tool gives teams a quick, credible view of their ESG maturity. Designed specifically for the FM sector, it highlights gaps, builds internal knowledge, and provides clear next steps for improvement—helping your organisation plan confidently, make informed decisions, and strengthen business cases for ESG initiatives.
The starting point for FMs beginning their ESG journey
The Self-Assessment Tool gives you a quick, clear snapshot of your current ESG practices, making it the perfect first step for FMs new to sustainability before investing in the Certified Assessment.
A Supply Chain Tool
The self-assessment tool is also a great way for FMs to gain greater insight into their supply chain. As expectations around supplier engagement increase, many organisations need to gain insight into their supply chains. The self-assessment tool has a supply chain option which provides organisations with an easy way build understanding of their key suppliers.
