2021 Environmental Social Governance (ESG) Report

In addition to funding proptech-centered venture capital firms, in 2021 we increased our investments in technology and software through our own proptech investment fund to support the implementation and scaling of solutions we believe add significant benefit to our operations and client offering. In doing so, we can first pilot applications to determine whether they can be scaled across our business. This trend will continue to grow in 2022. Here are just a few of the solutions in which we’re investing. INGENIOUS.BUILD : INGENIOUS.BUILD's platform provides cloud-based, real-time project management. In 2021, Cushman & Wakefield and INGENIOUS.BUILD deployed a new global project management platform for Cushman & Wakefield’s Project & Development Services team to improve efficiency of construction and fit-out project delivery. This technology solution also helps automate redundant processes, eliminate duplicate data entry, minimize data errors, and enhance communications and workflow—all leading to more strategic project managers driving better client solutions.

Measurabl: In 2021, Cushman & Wakefield made an investment in Measurabl, an ESG technology platform for real estate. Measurabl is using the funds from our firm and other investors to accelerate the expansion of the platform and support the launch of new services to meet rapidly growing global demand for sustainability and decarbonization tools. MeetElise : We are investing in MeetElise, a machine learning technology company dedicated to modernizing apartment leasing and operations by using advanced AI to create an automated and self-service experience. Our Americas Asset Services team successfully piloted the platform, which helps improve tenant lead conversion rates across multifamily assets. Pupil : As of 2022, Cushman & Wakefield has a strategic agreement with Pupil, a spatial data company that has created an ecosystem to digitally map the built world. Pupil’s product Stak is available to our professionals globally to drive value, efficiency and sustainability in our own offices and at client properties through improved speed and accuracy of digital measurements, digital floor plans and digital twins of properties. As part of a global master services agreement, Cushman & Wakefield has also made an investment in Pupil.
