Corporate Social Responsibility Report 2019 | Cushman & Wakefield

ADDING SUSTAINABLE VALUE IN REAL ESTATE

At Cushman & Wakefield, we believe that property should be sustainable. As such, we are fully committed to reducing our own and our clients’ environmental impact across the property lifecycle. We have three internal sustainability teams in place to help us get there: our Energy/Resource Management team; our Asset Services and Property Management team; and our Corporate Sustainability Solutions team. In addition to reducing environmental impacts, sustainable portfolios also have significant commercial benefits; they have a reduced risk of obsolescence, lower operating costs, better occupier retention and greater social impact – all things we believe in as a company. Our Sustainability Solutions team helps our clients drive exceptional outcomes across a range of geographies, sectors and portfolio types. ESG is an integral part of our own and our clients’ strategies, and we are committed to delivering best-in-class outcomes for both.
