Facilities Management (FM) Conference Earlier this year the first BCAA-IFMA Regional Conference was held in Singapore. Sodexo was invited to be one of the main sponsors for this FM Conference. The event was participated by different countries within the Facilities Management field. The organisers, International Facilities Management Association (IFMA) Singapore Chapter and BCA Academy prepared interesting activities from workshops, tours, network dining and seminars. The conference/seminar topics were about Sustainable Facility Management – A Business Advantage to Organisations. The conferences aim was to foster key efforts about sustainability within facility management while local and international experts shared insights and expertise. Sustainable facility management requires a new operational paradigm in company’s business objectives and practices. During the 1st day of the conference one of the speakers was our Vice President for Sodexo Facilities Management, Mr. Pascal Milland who talked about ‘Achieving Sustainable Facilities through Energy Management’.
