Mosanada recently participated in the 2014 Facilities Management Qatar conference (FMQ). Adam Wood (Senior Manager – Beyond Green) delivered a talk about the formulation of sustainability plans for large organizations.
Key Points included:
- Strategy starts with 3-5 ‘high level’ objectives and SMART targets.
- Sustainability Strategy requires level endorsement – Board level expectations should be communicated to relevant staff.
- Consultants and contractors must be kept accountable.
Project Tips:
- High-level strategy must be resourced by an allocated budget.
- Strategically design projects to achieve specific targets.
- Decisions should be based on modelling.
- Encourage partners to have ‘skin in the game’ and demonstrate results were achieved.
- Incorporate sustainability into existing business processes.
