Churchill Services has announced it has been awarded silver by the Sustainable Facilities Management Index (SFMI). This is the second time the company has taken part in the assessment and improves on the bronze award received in 2021.
Run annually by consultancy Acclaro Advisory, the SFMI is designed to be the only sustainability benchmark for the UK FM sector, with the aim of embedding sustainability into the management and operations of the FM sector.
Churchill was assessed against 23 different criteria in the Environmental, Governance and Social (ESG) Value areas. Its score increased in each of these three areas compared with 2021, with the largest improvements seen in the ‘governance’ section. The award in particular recognised the company’s advanced performance in the areas of management systems and compliance, with both topics being its highest scoring areas.
The award is the latest recognition of its ESG work after the company achieved the gold medal for sustainability by EcoVadis, the global sustainability accreditor.
Group environment manager Hannah Dales said: “We are delighted to have been awarded silver in the 2022 SFMI assessment. We are committed to embedding sustainability into our operations and culture, and it is fantastic to be recognised in this way.”
