Sustainability has many facets and is the focus of the 12th EuroFM research symposium on FM. Therefore, this volume contains a diverse set of research papers which address a broad spectrum of concerns. The framework for the Symposium includes social, economic and environmental approaches within the field, from an ecological perspective in FM.
The call for papers reminded us that FM is not just support services representing necessary cost to organizations. FM can provide essential benefits and positive impacts of importance for both for the primary activities of organizations, for all stakeholders and for society. It is rewarding to work with a network of researchers and practitioners who believe that FM can make a difference to people’s lives and to the success of private, civil and social enterprise.
The papers for the research symposium are organised in the three themes that underpinned the call for papers. As such the papers represent the first contributions to newly formed working groups to advance knowledge.
