Abstract
This paper examines sustainable facility management practices in public institutions with a focus on preventive maintenance, eco-friendly strategies, governance, and organizational culture. Drawing on an integrative review of secondary literature and practice-based insights, the study demonstrates that preventive maintenance not only extends the lifespan of institutional assets but also reduces costs and supports long-term sustainability. Eco-friendly practices such as energy efficiency, waste management, and water conservation are highlighted as critical to minimizing environmental impacts and aligning institutions with global sustainability agendas. Findings reveal that governance structures and organizational culture are decisive in determining the success of sustainability initiatives, with leadership commitment and institutional accountability emerging as central drivers. Knowledge development and capacity-building also play crucial roles in overcoming barriers related to skills and resource constraints. The paper concludes that embedding sustainability into facility management enhances institutional efficiency, environmental stewardship, and societal leadership.
