The SFMI Assessments

Our assessments delve into how FM providers embed sustainability into the management and operations of their organisation across 23 ESG criteria.

Align with sustainable thought leadership, upskill your business and be recognised as a leading organisation in the industry.

Why assess sustainability

The SFMI provides a credible single assessment score for comparable measure and benchmark against other FM companies.

The assessments provide a detailed roadmap of how FMs embed sustainability within their organisation. It identifies areas of weakness and provides an improvement plan.

Who do we assess

We help FMs who care about sustainability, driving a responsible business culture and are striving to be leaders within the industry.

“Benchmarking ourselves in an industry specific context can be difficult in other indices. The Sustainable FM Index helps us achieve this alongside sharing best practice and promoting the FM industry.”

How do we assess

The assessments consist of a 3-stage process:

Desktop assessment – assessing public data.
Discovery sessions – audit interviews delving into more detail on internal processes held either in person or remotely.
Additional evidence – opportunity to provide additional evidence post audit to enhance and achieve their final score.

The 23 ESG Criteria for Sustainable FM

The report is a guide for FM providers, FM Teams and Property teams. It explains each criteria, how it relates to sustainability in the built environment; its impact on FM roles, and how to manage them. It also shows how the criteria interlink with each other and outlines what sustainable FM leaders should be achieving according to the SFMI scoring assessment.

We update the report annually before assessments to keep the criteria relevant, factoring in developments like regulatory changes and COVID-19. Our aim to provide a clear, practical guide for those pursuing sustainability, with a focus on key leadership attributes.
