Amey has received the Silver Award in its first submission to the Sustainable Facilities Management Index (SFMI).

SFMI is a newly developed tool designed to assess and benchmark the ESG performance of Facilities Management providers.

During an extensive audit process, Amey demonstrated significant success in its first year of SFMI involvement, achieving a high Silver Award.

Identified strengths included Amey's strategic integration of sustainability, its comprehensive sustainability framework and board-level engagement. Operationally, the business was praised for its comprehensive Social Value approach, its carbon management service maturity and its Wellbeing Strategy.

In 2023, Amey released a new ESG framework outlining key goals to create long-term sustainable value for stakeholders while protecting the planet.

Since then, the company has launched several initiatives to drive this strategy forward, including an enhanced social recruitment campaign targeting hard-to-reach individuals and a commitment to supporting the financial stability of its supply chain through excellent payment practices.

This award underscores Amey's commitment to integrating ESG principles into its operations and driving positive change within the facilities management sector.

Craig McGilvray, Managing Director of Amey's Complex Facilities business said: "The SFMI forms part of our ongoing commitment to drive continual improvements in our ESG activities. As a business which helps deliver some of the country's essential services such as health, education, defence and justice, we recognise the part we play in creating long term and lasting value within the communities these services operate in. Our Silver accreditation now provides a platform from which we can build, and I am looking forward to achieving even more in the next assessment."

Chris Havers, Director of Acclaro and a Lead SFMI Assessor said: "Companies participating in the SFMI assessments demonstrate a robust commitment to integrating sustainability into their operations and services. This process involves engaging with an assessor to explore how deeply sustainability is embedded within the organisation's culture, ensuring a holistic approach rather than siloed thinking. In taking part in its first annual assessment, Amey has exemplified this commitment, showcasing a strong sustainability strategy that is linked to its business strategy, with tactics and practices that they continue to build upon. We observed a clear improvement pipeline, highlighting Amey's plans for further advancements in 2025 and beyond. We look forward to seeing their progress next year."

SFMI's independent validation will provide the business with a framework for ongoing improvement on which it will be assessed at the end of 2025.
