Vebego is a company that manufactures products.

The German Association for Facility Management (gefma) has launched an initiative called "The Enablers," aimed at fostering dialogue and collaboration within the facility management (FM) industry. This coalition of FM service providers in Germany seeks to collectively enhance the branch's societal-political profile.

One of the key players in this initiative is Vebego, a family-owned company founded in 1943 in the Netherlands. Active in several European countries, Vebego offers facility management, technical services, security, and healthcare services. The company joined "The Enablers" in July 2025, sharing the initiative's values of sustainability, diversity, and fair labor conditions.

Markus Breithaupt, CEO of Vebego, expressed his delight about being part of "The Enablers." He is looking forward to actively engaging in dialogue with the public, politics, and labor market actors through this platform. Sustainability, diversity, and fair labor conditions are integral to Vebego's corporate culture, and the company is committed to promoting sustainable practices within its operations.

The first event organized by "The Enablers" will be a roundtable discussion on the role of facility management in achieving sustainability goals. This event will bring together industry leaders, policymakers, and experts to discuss strategies for making the FM industry more sustainable. Vebego will collaborate with other members of "The Enablers" to make the industry's societal relevance more visible.

"The Enablers" also aims to create a platform for knowledge exchange and mutual learning among its members. The roundtable discussion is an opportunity for "The Enablers" members to share best practices and explore new ways to contribute to the FM industry's sustainability efforts.

"The Enablers" plans to use open discussions, events, and collaborations to present a contemporary and realistic image of the FM industry and dispel prejudices. The goal is to actively engage with the public, politics, and labor market actors to improve the visibility and social relevance of the facility management sector in Germany.

With "The Enablers," the German facility management industry is taking a significant step towards improving its societal-political profile and promoting sustainable practices. The initiative's first event is a promising start, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact it will have on the industry in the coming months.
