How we approach sustainability in our facilities management practices.
We assist you in efforts to reduce environmental impact. We start with smart management of essential services and continue on to sharing, and implementing, cutting-edge insights.
How commercial buildings can achieve sustainability
We’ve worked closely with sustainability and energy consultants to implement recycling campaigns, add EV charging stations to carparks, convert residencies to electricity instead of gas, organise e-waste (electronic waste) collection, streamline app solutions to feature sustainable measures for residents, and retrofit buildings through the installation of new systems designed for high energy efficiency and low energy consumption, across our portfolio.

EV Charging Integration and Adoption at Camberwell Village
The global trend towards the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is on the rise. The United Kingdom and France have announced plans to ban new sales of petrol and diesel cars by 2040, followed by Sweden and Scotland in 2032, and Norway as early as 2025.
Anticipating this shift, Australia aims to make electric vehicles competitively available by 2025. Consequently, the incorporation of EV facilities in new buildings has become a common consideration, both for marketing advantages and enhanced property value. Retrofitting charging stations in existing structures poses a challenge due to potential disruptions and overloads on electricity supply.
Connect Facilities facilitated the integration and adoption of EV Charging at Camberwell Village, to improve the overall sustainability of the facility and to accommodate the evolving transportation landscape for the residents.
