Yesterday, I had the honor of participating as a panelist at the FM Congress held at the Sheraton Hotel. Where I, along with several other young professionals including Rani Van Slembrouck, Mathias De Roeck, and Toon Kerkhofs, was invited by Patrick Wendelen. During the panel, moderated by Eduard Coddé, we received insightful questions from the audience about the perspective of young professionals on sustainability in facility management. 🌍
Being part of this panel not only gave me the opportunity to share my own insights but also allowed me to discover valuable new perspectives. The break-out sessions were especially engaging, showcasing innovative solutions for creating a more sustainable future within our sector.
✅ Session about mobility, with panelists Nathalie Cloet, Guy Storms, Koen Van Haelst, Isabel Verniers & Alain Caytan explored various forms of mobility and how we can make them more sustainable, including alternatives to company cars.
✅ Session focused on CSRD, featuring speakers like Catherine Bals, Elke Picquet & Tom Rommens, where the different scopes were clarified, emphasizing the importance of having a dedicated team focused on sustainability.
✅ Session, with speakers such as dr. Ir. Michael Peeters, Michel van Dongen & Tine Moens, addressed energy. How to make energy consumption more sustainable, the steps to take, and the specific challenges regarding rental properties.
At the same time, it became clear that there is still much to learn about sustainability and that significant steps need to be taken. 🌱💼
I am excited to turn this inspiration into action and contribute to a more sustainable facility management future!
