Damian McErlain is CFM's Head of Compliance & Business Improvement. Damian is responsible for ensuring each and every project stays compliant with client, contract and regulatory requirements.

Damian uses SustainIQ continuously throughout his role, identifying opportunities in the data to improve business operations, reduce negative environmental impacts and work toward longer-term objectives outlined in CFM's sustainability & CSR strategy.

SustainIQ is being used by Combined Facilities Management (CFM) company-wide to measure sustainability performance in areas such as:

• To report on all waste management and waste compliance data, including
  • Total tonnage of actual waste year-on-year
  • Waste material breakdowns to identify outliers and opportunities for reduction
  • Waste transfer notes (WTNs) being logged and collected on SustainIQ to stay compliant with contractor Duty of Care
  • Waste minimisation planning
• GHG emissions monitored in scopes 1, 2 and 3, including:
  • Mains electricity across all sites and locations in scope 2
  • Waste transport in scope 3
  • Mobile combustion emissions in scope 1
  • Stationary combustion emissions in scope 1
• To capture internal and external social value information, including:
  • Indirect and direct apprenticeships
  • Health & safety initiatives including SHEQ audits and scores
  • Community and volunteering initiatives
  • Fundraising and charitable donations
  • Education and stakeholder engagements

Damian can set both baseline years and annual targets for waste management reporting. With a set waste baseline, Damian uses SustainIQ to set annual targets on the system for actual total waste generated that align with his sustainability strategy goals.

With milestones clear on SustainIQ, this allows for easy analysis on how waste management procedures are improving, with a quick glance highlighting a 6.5% reduction this year-on-year.

Using SustainIQ's API connectivity, Damian and the team at CFM were able to integrate their ESG reporting dashboard with vehicle tracking tech, Teletrac Navman. Eliminating the need for data input altogether, SustainIQ pulls mileage data from vehicles in their business fleet and calculates the emissions generated in real-time, providing CFM with cost efficiencies and accurate, real-time transport data.

SustainIQ is loved & trusted by users in over 30 countries globally. Using one integrated reporting dashboard, users measure, monitor & report on over 150+ key ESG metrics in one place. With a number of integrations available, SustainIQ makes it simple to streamline reporting, pulling data from other systems and allowing for easy manual input where required.
