Net zero in FM starts with a baseline, not a target. This guide shows employers how to prioritise projects by carbon, cost and risk, write the business case in finance language and operate buildings well before rebuilding them. It also shows professionals which skills the sector wants, how to evidence impact on a CV, and how both readers can spot greenwash.
Net Zero Leadership in FM is written for two readers: organisations deciding how to lead a credible net zero programme through their buildings, and FM professionals who want to build a career in it.
The guide is practical rather than theoretical. It focuses on the decisions facilities leaders actually control, and on how to tell real progress from a target date with no plan behind it.
