“CFP has shown that investing in sustainability not only saves costs, but increases revenues”
Hans Nijhout, Directeur
UTS Nederland
Your reliable partner in corporate real estate
Corporate Facility Partners BV offers a full range of Facility Management and Housing services for medium and large organisations. CFP provides customised services, and works closely with the client based on its total vision of three different trends within its client’s work field:
• Necessity to reduce costs. The poor economic climate has forced many larger organisations to cut costs. Facility Management is one of an organisation’s highest cost items, yet the quality of the service is crucial to the primary business processes. This is why cost reductions must be achieved through the use of specific expertise.
• Outsourcing and centralisation. The outsourcing of facilities services such as cleaning, catering and security is very common in today’s world. Maintenance, real estate management and even management are being outsourced on an increasing basis. Facilities organisations in turn have a wide variety of partners, subcontractors and vendors at their disposal. In spite of their external position, these parties form part of the services your company ultimately provides. The supervision of these activities can represent a substantial management challenge. To what degree do you outsource: completely, on an organisation-wide level or minimally?
• Sustainability. In the Netherlands, Housing and Facility Management activities account for over 50% of the country’s total CO2 emissions. Buildings produce 35% of this total, and 20% is generated by transport to and from these buildings. CO2-neutral buildings, a reduction in energy costs, satellite offices and optimisation of transport can all make a significant contribution to the improvement of sustainability.
