Corporate Social Responsibility Report 2019 | Cushman & Wakefield

Advancing Community Development in Brazil After opening in 2005, the Heliópolis Community Library in São Paulo, Brazil underwent a revitalization process last year focusing on community development and the children of the “Casa dos Curumins” (Children’s House) Project, which offers children and adolescents protection from hunger and violence. Cushman & Wakefield supported the library’s revitalization by giving approximately $49,000. Additionally, our Brazil offices donated children’s books, participated in a children’s music and arts gathering, and volunteered to paint the library in 2019.

Helping Fund the Fight Against AIDS in Spain The Fight AIDS Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Barcelona, where scientists and healthcare professionals work together to both care for HIV patients and carry out clinical research. For many years, this research has also encompassed other related areas of medicine which affect a wider population, such as cancer, other infectious diseases, cardiovascular health and aging. A group of colleagues from our firm organized a fundraising campaign, as well as attended the foundation’s gala in late 2019 to help finance research on this disease. One million euros were raised, and Cushman & Wakefield was part of this incredible success. Providing Economic and Social Opportunities for Youth in the UK Inspire, Cushman & Wakefield’s UK D&I network, increased and expanded our outreach program by working with a number of carefully selected partners, including Ahead Partnership , London Youth Rowing and RICS Inspire Future Talents , to connect with kids in schools and colleges to increase awareness of real estate – specifically within less privileged communities. This also helps to increase the diversity of entrants into our industry, especially as it relates to our existing apprenticeship program.
