2021 Environmental Social Governance (ESG) Report

> Our Global Occupier Services team for a major financial client in Pennsylvania collected approximately $20,000 in clothing, toiletries and other everyday essentials for veterans moving into new housing . > Volunteers in the UK are providing pro bono support to Falcon Support Services , a charity serving homeless people. Some of our HR professionals are helping Falcon improve its HR infrastructure by updating job descriptions, performance and reward processes, and other HR functions. Employees from Project & Development Services provided a condition survey and maintenance schedule for one of Falcon’s facilities that includes a drop-in day center, en-suite rooms and a communal living space for local people in need and offices for staff. Advancing DEI in APAC Taking Pride in Pro-bono Efforts The Victorian Pride Centre (VPC) in Victoria, Australia, is a multi-use space that houses meeting rooms, coworking spaces, a gallery, theater and offices for LGBTQ+-focused commercial and non profit tenants. VPC serves as a hub for LGBTQ+ groups and organizations to share ideas and resources to further their work in supporting equality, diversity and inclusion. Cushman & Wakefield began offering pro-bono leasing and property advice for the building in 2019 while it was under construction, helping VPC with commercial frameworks and tenant partnerships. Our efforts helped save VPC approximately $97,000 in consulting fees. The fit out was completed in late 2020, and the center opened to the public in summer 2021.

Enabling Opportunities in Singapore Cushman & Wakefield and C&W Services, Singapore, have worked with SG Enable, an organization that champions inclusion and employment of people with disabilities, since 2018. Last year, Singapore President Halimah Yacob toured C&W Services’ inclusive and accessible office and met with employees to learn more about our partnership with SG Enable. C&W Services also signed the President's Challenge Enabling Employment Pledge to build a more inclusive workforce for people with disabilities. We continue to work with SG Enable on career fairs, job shadowing programs, diversity awareness forums and other programs together. Also in 2021, Cushman & Wakefield and C&W Services presented a Disability Awareness webinar in conjunction with the Purple Parade, the country’s largest movement for supporting inclusion and celebrating the abilities of people with disabilities. The featured guest was Central Singapore Mayor Denise Phua, who is also a member of the Singapore Parliament and president of the local Autism Resource Centre.
