Corporate Social Responsibility Report 2019 | Cushman & Wakefield

Providing a safe workplace that protects our employees from safety risks and hazards is an ongoing priority for Cushman & Wakefield. To ensure this, we remain committed to acting in accordance with all applicable safety laws, regulations and our own stringent safety standards in all of our locations around the globe. In turn, we expect our employees to perform their work safely, observing all safety policies and procedures, and we support and encourage our employees to speak up to ensure potential safety hazards are identified and eliminated. Although our Health, Safety, Security and Environment (HSSE) program is regionally based, we provide and maintain a set of global HSSE guidelines which set out our minimum expectations around managing high risk activities that assist us in responding to the needs and requirements of various countries and businesses in a consistent way. Our 360° HSSE Model is based on shared responsibility, collaboration and accountable leadership. Led by a global HSSE team, in line with our global HSSE policies, we strive for continuous improvement in safety performance by focusing on regular hazard identification and risk assessments on the environments we work in and the tasks we perform. OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY (403-103)

This is supported by maintaining regular communications with all colleagues and making safety resources easily accessible to employees through a single online global platform. All of our HSSE management systems are aligned with ISO or equivalent standards. Our UK and Singapore offices are now certified under ISO45001. Our offices in Australia and New Zealand are certified AS/NZS 4801-2001 and parts of Asia are certified OHSAS 18001. Cushman & Wakefield is also committed to providing learning opportunities to all our employees and professionals focusing on our legislative obligations and those environments and tasks that have a higher level of risk. We partner with online HSSE training providers around the world with the capacity to deliver content in local languages; selecting those whose course libraries contain relevant, up-to-date content and the capability to assign, deliver and track employee training. Employee training records are immediately accessible by Cushman & Wakefield managers and demonstrate compliance with prescribed training requirements.
