Cloudfm’s Carly Hall has been promoted to the new role of Sustainability Lead to accelerate the company’s ESG plans.
Hall retains her responsibilities as Group Health and Safety Manager but will also be responsible for working with clients to establish their ESG goals, develop a strategy and support a focus on the area. She previously held safety roles at Linklaters and Burberry.
Commenting on the appointment, Katrina Christopoulos, head of ESG at Cloudfm, said: “Carly brings a wealth of experience to this new role, where she will support Cloudfm in our goal to decarbonise the business and improve externally verified ESG scores. The role will also encompass helping clients and suppliers achieve their own ESG goals.”
Cloudfm aims to lead the facilities management industry with a full-scope net zero emissions target for 2035. The company has already met its scope 1 and 2 science-based emissions targets and is now setting its sights on scope 3.
The company is also engaging its supply chain with a new programme to help them manage the transition to net zero.
Hall said: “Effective facilities management is no longer solely focused on operational efficiency and cost savings, but also on environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and good governance. In today’s business landscape, the consideration of ESG factors is crucial for facilities managers to drive long-term value and mitigate risks. By prioritising ESG practices in facilities management, organisations can positively impact the planet, society, and stakeholders while improving operational efficiency and reducing costs. As such, ESG is no longer a choice, but a necessity for facilities management to drive sustainable and responsible growth.”
With the current economic crisis resulting in higher prices and more of a squeeze on resources, FMs need to ensure that they have robust building and maintenance services in place to control costs and reduce the need for emergency repairs. When it comes to drainage and plumbing there are also the challenges of dealing with extreme weather, from droughts to flooding, the need to meet stringent regulations and to avoid causing environmental damage.
UK drainage specialist, Metro Rod, has launched a survey which explores the main areas of interest for FMs in maintaining drainage and plumbing, including how they currently assess their supply chains to ensure they’re working with partners that meet the highest possible standards and provide value for money.
The results will be published online so that you can see how you compare to others within the sector.
The survey should take just 5-10 minutes of your time, and as a thank you, you will be entered into a prize draw, where one lucky winner will be picked at random to receive a £100 Amazon voucher.
