The AmCham Workspace and Facilities Management (WFM) Committee's series of events on ESG factors has reached its final pillar. Zsolt Kákosy, chairman of the WFM Committee and senior director of Property Management at Icon Real Estate Management opened the session with a welcome address. This time, the "G" leg of ESG requirements, including the role of corporate ESG audits and risk factors, was discussed by the committee in a presentation by Judit Budai and Balázs Zoltán Kovács from Szecskay Law Firm.
Around 15% of people in society live with special needs. For them, information about which buildings are wheelchair accessible or where tactile signs are located to help blind people find their way around is essential. The "S" leg of ESG, or social needs, was the topic of AmCham's Real Estate Management Committee, where Tamás Méri, co-founder and business development director of Access4you, drew the attention of professionals to the importance of this issue in the light of increasingly stringent ESG criteria.

Bold made the announcement at Tuesday’s Facilities Management Committee meeting.
The project will end up costing the county about $13.5 million, about $1 million less than the original approximately $14.5 million estimate.
Most of the work was completed by March, with contractors now going through and completing punch list items.
Also approved were several requests to use county property.
The Edwardsville Rotary Club will use the St. Louis Street side of the courthouse to play music for the Rotary Club Criterium Bike Race, set for noon to 11 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 21.

Milton told members of the Buildings and Facilities Management Committee during this week’s meeting.
“Everything is on target, on budget,” he said. “We started the last cell block November 30, and that’s scheduled to be completed March 31.”
While going over project updates, Milton noted that they have not done any Americans with Disabilities Act work since the start of the pandemic because the workload shifted to making changes and enhanced cleaning and sanitation due to the coronavirus.
He noted they recently had to disinfect nine separate departments “from the front door to the back door” because of potential contamination, and that it usually takes three people about three hours to do that.
