2021 Environmental Social Governance (ESG) Report

Marketplace and Service Offerings We aim to optimize the value we bring to clients through a robust Supplier Diversity Program, an approach that integrates DEI with our service offerings, and partnerships with external organizations that help advance our DEI mission. Supplier Diversity Through our Supplier Diversity Program, we seek to identify opportunities to engage and partner with minority-, women-, veteran-, LGBTQ+-, and disability-certified businesses and others. Some of these classifications only apply to the U.S., however, we are actively engaging with diverse suppliers across the globe. In 2021, Cushman & Wakefield spent more than $580 million with 3,162 diverse suppliers in North America—an increase of 600 suppliers and $135.5 million from 2020. We also recently launched our Supplier Registration Portal , which allows suppliers to enter their information to be considered for future opportunities and gives us the ability to refer new suppliers and help ensure diverse suppliers are properly certified. We embrace diversity not only through workforce initiatives, but also through longstanding alliances to address industry-wide supplier diversity initiatives. Examples include strategic partnerships with the National Minority Supplier Diversity Council (NMSDC), the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC), WEConnect and the U.S. Pan Asian American Chamber of Commerce (USPAACC). See the Supply Chain Management section of this report for more information on our Supplier Diversity Program.

Business Development DEI wins business. Clients consistently tell us they want to work with like-minded companies who are committed to DEI. We believe that having intentional and deliberate focus on applying a DEI lens to existing and prospective clients' businesses can contribute to increased value and better outcomes. Our DEI Business Development team members work closely with our client-facing professionals globally and partners with a variety of key stakeholders across the organization including Managing Principals, ESG subject matter experts and our Portfolio Solutions team to integrate DEI in requests for proposal (RFPs) and business reviews with existing clients. Since kicking off our efforts in 2021, the DEI Business Development team has contributed to approximately 50 client pursuits. We have made significant strides and are continually learning and adjusting along the way to deliver best-in-class service for our clients.

Thanks to the efforts of our DEI team, Cushman &Wakefield won the mandate for the relocation of a major client’s HQ in Madrid. One of the key factors was Cushman &Wakefield’s strong commitment to DEI and sustainability. I’m proud to work for a company that actively connects DEI with our clients’ hearts and values.”
