Sustainability is an increasingly important issue for many of us, especially in the FM world. Climate change continues to affect our lives as well as the fate of all other species around the planet.

These Sustainable Development Goals were a call for action by all countries – poor, rich and middle-income – to promote prosperity while protecting the planet. These goals have permeated their way through international and government policy and are starting to have a real impact on legislative requirements.
