Overview
Join IWFM at midday on Wednesday 20 May for a webinar exploring how workplace and facilities managers can navigate increasing complexity, uncertainty and risk in waste and resource management.
With new legislation, rising sustainability expectations and greater scrutiny on organisational performance, waste and resource management has become a strategic issue for FM teams – not just an operational one. Decisions made in this area now have direct implications for compliance, ESG performance, cost control, reputation and organisational resilience.
This webinar draws on IWFM’s latest Recycling, Waste and Resource Management Good Practice Guide, which reflects the growing importance of waste and resource management in managing risk, supporting sustainability goals and building organisational resilience.
Our expert panel will discuss:
- Why waste and resource management is now a material risk and opportunity for organisations
- How changing legislation and policy are reshaping responsibilities for FM teams
- The role of data, audits and governance in supporting confident decision‑making
- Practical actions organisations can take to reduce risk and demonstrate value
- How effective resource management supports sustainability goals and wider business objectives
Whether you work in the private or public sector, this session will provide practical insight, strategic context and real‑world perspectives to help you manage uncertainty and plan ahead.
On the panel
- Jenny Thomas, Director of External Affairs, IWFM (Host)
- Alexandra Rees, Senior Sustainability & Environment Manager, Equans UK & Ireland
- Gina Digby FCIWM MCIWM, Owner, Redintegro Environmental and Head of Sustainability, Axil Integrated Services
