The paper investigates how Sustainable Facility Management (SFM) can be integrated with Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) initiatives and its application in the innovative sustainable business environment of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in compliance with the UAE National 2030 agenda for sustainable development. To ensure the integration among the three pillars of sustainability: environmental, economic, and social vision, the UAE National Innovation Strategy is intending to brand the UAE as one of the most innovative nations in the world. Considering these initiatives and the concepts of Facility Management (FM), this research first examines the role of GSCM in adopting environmentally friendly approaches, and then explores the role FM plays in the context of GSCM. The study concludes by investigating how both concepts could be best applied in accordance with the UAE’s vision of 2030 toward sustainable development using secondary European and North American data as a benchmarking tool for the analysis.
