2021 Environmental Social Governance (ESG) Report

WELLBEING (103-1, 103-2)

The impact of buildings on human health and wellbeing is an area where Cushman & Wakefield has significant influence on its stakeholders, including both employees and clients. We know the health and wellbeing of employees and building occupiers is central to companies’ success, and we seek to create long-term value by recognizing these as critical components within our broader ESG efforts. For our employees, our People team’s approach covers all areas of wellbeing, including physical, mental, social, emotional and economic factors. It is a crucial part of our employee value proposition and influences attraction, retention and overall employee performance, and our management of this topic complies with applicable labor and employment laws and regulations. See the Employee Benefits section of this report to learn more. Additionally, we continue to provide employees with supplemental support for extraordinary circumstances presented by COVID-19 and other unforeseen financial and personal hardships that could adversely affect health and wellbeing through our Global Employee Assistance Fund. See the COVID-19 Update section of this report for more information. For our clients, we offer a variety of services that put employee and occupier wellbeing at the center of their real estate strategies.

Focusing on Health and Wellbeing with the American Heart Association In 2021, Cushman & Wakefield’s New York Tri-State area offices joined the American Heart Association’s New York City Heart Challenge Movement, with a goal of helping employees champion their own health and wellbeing while supporting the American Heart Association’s mission to “be a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives.” From January through May 2021, local Cushman & Wakefield employees led monthly events, wellbeing challenges and activities that focused on different topics, such as heart health and nutrition. The effort culminated in May’s virtual Wall Street Run & Heart Walk, for which Cushman & Wakefield raised more than $150,000.
