At ConnexFM, we are committed to creating a sustainable future for our business, our stakeholders, and the environment. Our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Committee plays a vital role in achieving this goal.
The ESG Committee is responsible for educating ConnexFM members about ESG matters. By prioritizing ESG initiatives, we believe that facility management professionals can create long term value for all their stakeholders while contributing to a more sustainable future.
The ESG Committee focuses on the following areas:
Environmental
We need to reduce our environmental impact for sustainable practices throughout our operations. This includes initiatives such as reducing our carbon footprint, improving energy efficiency, and managing our waste and water usage.
Social
We believe that a business' is success is tied to the well-being of its employees, customers, and communities. We strive to promote diversity and inclusion, create safe and healthy workspaces, and support the communities in which we operate.
Governance
The ESG Committee can show facility management professionals how to maintain high ethical standards and transparent business practices.
