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. According to NASA research, human activity is causing the planet to get warmer.In 2015, the UN published their 17 Goals to Transform Our World. 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. When coupled with the raging fires and flooding that we see on our screens, the very real threat of climate change is becoming evident in our day to day lives.
