  • Core Strategies for Resilience & Risk Management
    1. Robust Preventative & Reactive Maintenance
    Fides Group’s services include both preventative and reactive maintenance. Regular inspections of roofing, plumbing, electrical systems and HVAC help spot vulnerabilities early.
    2. Regulatory Compliance & Health & Safety
    Ensuring that buildings adhere to statutory obligations for safety and structural integrity is central to reducing risk. Fides embeds health & safety protocols and regulatory compliance across its service offerings.
    3. Integrated Facility Management Approach
    Having all facility operations under one roof—self performing many services—allows Fides to coordinate responses to climate risks seamlessly. This reduces delays, improves communication, and aligns performance to clients’ goals.

  • 4. Sustainable Materials & Design Choices
    Selecting materials and systems that withstand Ghana’s climate—like roofing resistant to leaks, durable finishes, good insulation & ventilation—helps reduce damage and long term costs. Fides emphasizes sustainable, compliant practices in its service delivery.
    5. Establishing Strong SOPs & SLAs
    Clear Standard Operating Procedures and Service Level Agreements ensure vendors, contractors, and internal teams know what’s expected when extreme weather strikes. Fides manages SOPs and SLAs as part of its facility management suite.

    Fides Group’s Perspective & Strengths
    • We align our facility management services with the client’s strategic goals and values, ensuring resilience is not just a technical requirement but a business priority.
    • Our internal training & development processes, along with a workforce of certified technicians across electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and other core services, mean readiness when climate risks emerge.
    • Because we self perform many technical and soft services (such as roofing, ventilation, maintenance, landscape, cleaning), we maintain tighter control over quality, response times and resilience outcomes.

    Impacts of Effective Climate Risk Management
    • Improved safety and welfare of occupants and users of the facility
    • Reduced costs associated with emergency repairs, downtime, or damage from weather events
    • Longer lifespan of building systems and materials
    • Enhanced reputation and value of assets through resilience, compliance, and quality service delivery
    • Better alignment with ESG oriented expectations, and with regulatory obligations around safety and environment
