When it comes to views on sustainability, property owners and facility managers tend to fall in one of a few camps. You enjoy being green if it means being energy-efficient and translates into cost savings. If sustainability and green initiatives cost a little extra—or a lot extra—interest wanes.

Conversely, there might be some who don’t care at all about sustainability. It’s about running their building or operation as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.

Finally, you have those who are all in, who see sustainability as the way to do business today and going forward.

What the first two camps need to understand is the far reach of sustainability and how it impacts an organization, whether or not the company actively engages in it or not.
