Start your ESG Journey with The SFMI
The SFMI supports facilities management organisations at every stage of their sustainability journey – from entry level self-assessment to full accreditation and membership.
Facilities management organisations are facing growing pressure to deliver on ESG. Clients expect clear sustainability strategies and measurable results, regulations continue to evolve, and reporting requirements are becoming more complex. At the same time, teams must keep buildings running efficiently and cost-effectively. Many organisations are looking for practical ways to measure performance, prioritise action, and demonstrate credible progress.
Becoming an SFMI Partner or utilising our self-assessment tool helps FM and property management organisations meet these challenges. In addition to enhancing reputation and opening up new business opportunities, facilities management organisations can stay ahead of regulations and industry trends, strengthen internal capability, and collaborate with a community of FM leaders.
Choose the SFMI option that best fits your organisation’s ESG journey. If you are unsure which level is right for you, we would be happy to talk through the options.
