SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION HANDBOOK 2
Figure 1. Questionnaire one and two: Does your organisation have a sustainability policy?
Figure 2. Questionnaire one and two: What aspects are covered by your sustainability policy?
The comparison of both surveys highlights the significance of all construction organisations having
fewer aspects covered within their sustainability policies. However, the sequence of importance of
each of the aspects is similar. 71% of construction organisations in Figure 2 include the specification
of sustainable products and services within their sustainability policy, which is significantly higher
than the 64% in the FM survey. All other aspects are lower amongst construction organisations which
include building disposal and carbon footprinting. These results show the possibility that
organisations with FM departments or organisations that provide FM services implement more
comprehensive sustainability policies. The wide range of aspects selected within each graph shows
the lack of recognition of what sustainability actually is and how it should be implemented or applied
in practice (Sassi 2006).
