Corporate Social Responsibility Report 2019 | Cushman & Wakefield

Water and Waste (303-1, 303-2, 303-3, 306-2)

Waste is generated at Cushman & Wakefield offices and water is withdrawn for consumption by employees and visitors. In 2019, we began estimating our waste generation and water consumption across all of our global operationally controlled owned and leased operations. Because the majority of Cushman & Wakefield offices are leased and we are often co-located with other tenants, it is challenging to obtain actual resource data. Therefore, our water and waste data is based on regional industry averages per square foot for large office buildings. We intend to put systems in- place to collect actual data in the future wherever feasible.

In 2019, we generated a total of approximately 4,025 short tons of non-hazardous waste in our office buildings, of which we estimate a total of approximately 266 short tons that was recycled or diverted from landfill disposal. None of our offices generate hazardous waste. Water is consumed through irrigation, cooling and in office kitchen areas and restrooms. In 2019, Cushman & Wakefield offices withdrew an estimated total of approximately 89.4 million gallons of water from third-party municipal suppliers and utilities. Cushman & Wakefield has not identified any substantive water-related impacts associated with our activities so have not engaged stakeholders to manage water as a shared resource. Wastewater is properly discharged to municipal treatment facilities, in accordance with local and national rules and standards.
