Integrated facilities management provider Emrill, part of the UK-based Carillion Group, gave back to the community last month through its participation in World Environment Day.
Sustainability within facilities management is usually only thought about in terms of green initiatives, such as energy management and recycling; but it is much more than that, according to Simone Dobson, senior FM consultant, Emrill.
“Through utilisation of our Sustainability Excellence Model, we apply sustainability to all areas of the business to the extent that it is now part of every day working,” said Dobson, who continued: “Every year there is a publicised Sustainability Week within the company, the last day of which coincides with World Environment Day.”

During Sustainability Week senior management undertook the commitment to choose a number of pledges each from a shopping list of 32 items, and provide regular feedback to the Emrill Sustainability Team on progress; and to become a member of the Green Generation by signing up on the World Earth Day website, the goal of which is to achieve one billion members.
“We also actively encourage our people to volunteer and support Emirates Environmental Group in various activities, such as can collection and tree planting,” Dobson pointed out. “Sustainability has long been an important differentiator for us in the UK, and has since been adopted by Emrill Services here in the Middle East.”
