GAINING RECOGNITION FOR GOING GREEN Our sustainability efforts continued gaining recognition from third parties in 2019.

ENERGY STAR® Partner of The Year: Sustained Excellence

International WELL Building Institute™ Recognition

Cushman & Wakefield was presented with the 2019 ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year Sustained Excellence Award for continued leadership and superior contributions to ENERGY STAR®. In 2020, we earned this distinction for the eighth year in a row.

Cushman & Wakefield was recognized by the International WELL Building Institute™ (IWBI™) for its outstanding achievement in advancing health and wellbeing for people through WELL projects in China. Corrine Chen, Cushman & Wakefield’s Head of Sustainability Services, Project & Development Services, China, received the WELL Leadership Recognition Award alongside 38 other Asia- based industry leaders at the IWBI™ Asia awards celebration in Shanghai in 2019. C&W Services’ HVAC modernization project for a cosmetic development and manufacturing company’s 245,000-square-foot Toronto facility was named 2019 Energy Project of the Year by Energy Into Action and the Government of Ontario, Canada. The company’s executives were interested in redesigning the entire production floor at their Toronto facility, while also concurrently re- engineering the site’s mechanical infrastructure. Our subject matter experts worked with the client to develop specific goals, including the modernization of the HVAC system to support cosmetic manufacturing plus improved efficiency across lighting, compressed air and control systems. The project ultimately exceeded the client’s energy reduction targets, cutting electricity costs by 45% and their natural gas costs by 27%. This translates into about $350,000 in annual savings.

As a WELL project leader at Cushman & Wakefield, I’m truly honored to receive the 2019 Leadership Recognition Award from the International WELL Building Institute. With this award, we celebrate our win as a company to put people, health and wellbeing at the center of what we do.
