As energy costs rise and the need to reduce carbon emissions grows, many businesses are looking towards the facilities managers to cut energy use and create a more sustainable business model. Greater public scrutiny is making environmental performance almost as important as financial performance in today's business climate.
Featuring three co-located exhibitions, Working Buildings 2008 will take place from 8-9 October 2008 at London's Olympia. Visitors to this year's event will benefit from an innovative and relevant series of free seminars which set out a Roadmap to Sustainability. Three events make up Working Buildings 2008: M&E - The Building Services Event, Total Workplace Management and Energy Solutions Expo, each of which include a seminar area dedicated to a wide range of topics around the issue of sustainability.
Organisations are looking to reduce their carbon footprint, develop sustainable procurement methods and keep up with new legislation. Managers involved in any of these issues have a bewildering and ever-growing array of responsibilities and options. The Roadmap to Sustainability offers assistance and information to those involved at all levels in the journey to sustainable business.
