Overview
Recognising corporate responsibility…
Alignment to goals
Noticing a pattern in the current service providers performance, it was clear that a new drainage service provider was required. Based on the historical performance with other facilities management companies, GreenSpark was brought on board as a supply partner to help support their corporate responsibility goals.
Using the historical performance data and highlighting key problem areas, the FM company and GreenSpark were able to develop a schedule of planned maintenance to maintain full operational control of all wastewater facilities. If facilities are effectively maintained and routinely cleaned, it prevents many service and structural faults from arising which necessitate emergency call outs. With the new forward-thinking approach, 2018 saw a drastic reduction in emergency calls required whilst three separate maintenance visits were carried out.
Benchmarking
When establishing the environmental performance of sites, having clear guidelines and expectations makes it much easier. Having standards that you can check against will help you to identify areas of compliance and any non-compliances that will require addressing and you can refer site teams to your established standards. Sites should be regularly assessed to ensure they are complying with the standards you have set and you can create a league table of performance. This will allow you to determine which sites require additional support and those where good practice can be shared.
Setting pollution risk management guidelines for multiple sites to follow will allow you to standardise pollution prevention procedures and ensure that all of your sites are compliant and fully aware of their environmental obligations. You can have peace of mind that sites know their obligations and regular checking against the standards can allow you to measure performance and benchmark compliance and improvement.
As well as adapting a new approach to existing facilities, the FM provider recognised the need to upgrade some areas of infrastructure in a particularly busy national fulfilment facility. Working collaboratively with GreenSpark, designs were created and carried out to fully meet operational needs.
