“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” Different cultures, faiths, and philosophical schools of thought have often propagated some version of this social construct. At FM Media, we’re reiterating it.
We’re proud to announce Sydney-headquartered Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) has officially teamed up with us as the Supporting Partner for our upcoming sustainability-themed print edition, out this October.
This will be our second print issue of the year, and we’re making it a habit. After recently announcing our return to print, we’re committed to bringing you a regular quarterly edition.
Our upcoming Facility Management magazine will cover several topics around the theme of sustainability, offering insights, strategies and perspectives that underscore why sustainability is not the future of facilities management, but its present priority.
From energy-efficient buildings and circular waste systems to green cleaning practices and data-driven optimisation, the path to more sustainable operations is full of opportunities.
The internationally recognised GBCA manages Green Star, Australia’s largest sustainability rating system for buildings, fit-outs and communities. It measures categories such as carbon emissions, energy, water, materials, indoor environment quality, transport, waste and governance, making their partnership for this edition all the more relevant.
“We are thrilled to announce our partnership with the Green Building Council of Australia. We have previously collaborated with Davina Rooney, GBCA CEO, on our built environment platform Australian Design Review, and we are eager to further strengthen this relationship and advance sustainability content within the FM industry,” Niche managing director Paul Lidgerwood says.
The GBCA is a powerful voice within the industry and provides professional development and accreditation such as the Green Star Accredited Professional exam, and hosts events, courses, and thought-leadership programs for the industry to upskill and keep abreast with the latest developments in this dynamic field.
It is also a major player within the advocacy and policy influence space, with its voice recognised by public bodies at the federal, state and local government levels, making GBCA an organisation that shapes the conversation around sustainability, rather than reacting to it.
“Facility Management magazine’s audience represents the backbone of our buildings – those who keep our spaces safe, efficient, and sustainable,” GBCA head of industry development and communications Lucy Harris says.
“Partnering with a publication that serves this vital industry sector aligns with GBCA’s mission to support the creation of buildings and places that are better for people and the planet and we look forward to working with the Facility Management magazine’s team into the future.”
There’s more to come from our partnership with GBCA, which we’ll be sharing in the weeks ahead. As always, stay tuned.
