It is also \u003ci\u003enot\u003c\/i\u003e a (marketing) guide on how to communicate high-pitched sustainability ambitions to potential customers to increase (short-term) market share.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstead, this book is based on the realisation that most facility management businesses and departments actually find it hard to truly integrate sustainability into their strategies, tactics and day-to-day operations in a coherent way. It is also based on the reference point that sustainable development cannot be realised only through technological advancements and new procedures; it requires new behavioural patterns of people.
