FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
ISS has announced an industry-first partnership with Anthesis, a global sustainability firm, to conceive, develop and deliver exemplary sustainability solutions, optimised for FM.
This partnership harnesses ISS’s extensive operational expertise in managing and maintaining complex facilities across diverse industries alongside Anthesis’ deep sustainability knowledge in managing risk and adding value for organisations on their transformation journeys.
The partnership will focus on three core workplace sustainability pillars:
- Low Carbon — Delivering decarbonisation strategies tailored for FM, reducing operational energy consumption, and enhancing workplace efficiency.
- Zero Waste — Driving circular economy principles and waste reduction at scale.
- Socially Responsible — Embedding sustainability into workplace policies, employee wellbeing, and supply chain impact.
By integrating sustainability seamlessly into workplace and FM operations, ISS and Anthesis aim to set a new industry benchmark — ensuring sustainability is not just a corporate target but a lived reality.
Scott Davies, CEO of ISS UK & Ireland, said: “Sustainability is a major concern for organisations in both the private and public sectors, and their facilities play a hugely significant role in achieving sustainable practices. Many, however, have faced a disconnect between sustainability targets and practical execution.
“We’re proud to join forces with a purpose-led partner like Anthesis — together, we’ll bring real-world solutions that translate sustainability goals into tangible workplace outcomes, while enabling people and businesses to thrive. This collaboration presents truly exciting opportunities for ISS and our customers to reduce carbon emissions, eliminate waste, and embed social responsibility, and, ultimately, embodies our wider purpose: connecting people and places to make the world work better.”
Andrew Noone, UK Managing Director, Anthesis added: “Sustainability should be the heartbeat throughout an organisation’s operations, and our partnership with ISS shows alignment on our collective ambitions of turning sustainable ambitions into action. Given the breadth of ISS’s client base and the depth of our expertise, this relationship will have a measurable impact across the industry.”
On 27 February FMJ will be hosting a webinar in partnership with workplace management solutions provider, Matrix Booking, to discuss the challenges posed by managing hybrid work models, meeting sustainability targets, and dealing with economic pressures, which have long required a fine balancing act for Facilities Managers. This is set to become more complicated this year with the Government announcing plans to allow staff to work more flexibly.
The webinar will bring together the digital experts from Matrix Booking alongside a panel of workplace thought leaders to discuss how FMs can create the perfect balance.
