2021 Environmental Social Governance (ESG) Report

Innovation and Technology Innovation and our ability to test, trial and implement new technology have become increasingly important in the last two years during the COVID-19 pandemic, both for enabling our people to do their best work in a hybrid working environment and to meet the demands of our clients. We need to support our employees in their ability to work remotely, in the office and at third places while remaining productive. Our talent requires the best tools and data to make them as efficient as possible. Additionally, our clients are seeking the best way to gather and use data to drive strong performance across their real estate portfolios, whether that means enhancing their ability to reach ESG targets or increasing the value of their assets to attract the best price or tenant. Cushman & Wakefield’s Technology and Data Solutions team is responsible for building a pipeline of the best property technology (proptech) solutions that address our company’s and our clients’ specific needs. To accomplish this, colleagues from technology, the Strategic Investments team and other functions, client facing subject matter experts and service line leaders across the firm work together to develop our strategy, pilot leading solutions and evaluate investment opportunities. When assessing new solutions, our teams examine the benefits and how they can be measured, as well as how the technology can be integrated with our existing platform. There has been an explosion of new proptech solutions covering the entire property lifecycle, ranging from room- and desk-booking solutions to complex transaction management platforms.
