I'm excited to share with you the latest episode of Navigating ESG in Facilities and The Workplace, with Alan Stenson from Neutral Carbon Zone. 

In this episode, Alan highlights the significant impact Facilities Management has on the environment. Alan also talks about his experience and how the Sustainability industry has changed over the past 17 years.  

Here is an overview of the episode: 

• Organisations tendering for work need to demonstrate that they can show they are taking credible steps towards reducing their environmental impact.
• Collaboration and partnership are increasing in importance, as companies want to show they can help clients achieve their Net Zero goals.
• More companies are integrating sustainability into their operations and making it part of who they are.
• Success in sustainability needs to be more than just a tick box exercise, and companies need to be able to answer questions about their specific impact.

Our guest, Angela Halliday, Director of Social Impact at Sodexo, shared valuable insights on the importance of social responsibility and impact in the business world.

If you are new to FM or Social Value, this is a great listen.  

Here are a few key takeaways from the conversation:

• Over the last decade, responsibility for a company's social impact has moved from individual employees to board-level discussions.
• Companies are now being evaluated not just on revenue but also on their impact, with a focus on Net Zero and other social agendas.
• Government legislation and policy are being put in place to optimise public taxpayers' money through socially responsible suppliers.
• Candidates are choosing businesses that align with their values and offer not just attractive salaries, but also values that employees can believe in.

Angela's expertise and perspective offer a thought-provoking look at the evolving landscape of social value in the workplace.
