  • #18. Net Zero Delusion - Are We Walking in to a Net Zero Failure in 2050?
    Mar 16 2026

    Is the Facilities Management industry’s Net Zero ambition a game-changing goal or an illusion? This unmissable session cuts through the greenwashing to explore whether the sector is truly on track to deliver sustainable results. Are we tackling emissions head-on, or are we outsourcing the problem? How do bold targets align with the reality of operations on the ground? With open and honest debate, we’ll expose the challenges, discuss practical solutions, and ask if the industry is setting itself up for success—or failure. Come prepared to question everything you thought you knew about FM and Net Zero.
