GLOBAL

Leading LEGO to LEED Certification As LEGO works to reduce the environmental impact of its assets, Cushman & Wakefield is a key partner in helping the iconic toy manufacturer achieve its sustainability goals for its buildings. In 2021, our global sustainability teams began a multiyear project to achieve LEED certification in LEGO factories around the world, beginning with facilities in Hungary, China and Mexico. We’ve conducted energy calculations and life cycle assessments to support LEED, advised on strategy development, and coordinated workshops with construction and design teams to ensure work meets LEED requirements. Vietnam is one of the next LEGO sites slated for LEED certification in 2022.

Setting Sustainable Leasing Standards with Capgemini Cushman & Wakefield is the exclusive provider of lease transaction and data management services for Capgemini, a global leader in partnering

with companies to transform and manage their business by harnessing the

power of technology. Our sustainability team and the Capgemini Real Estate Sustainability Team worked together to transform Capgemini’s green lease goals into a global implementation program and developed a framework to guide the client's transaction management teams in supporting lease negotiations. Our combined efforts earned a gold-level “Team Transaction” award through the Green Lease Leaders program in 2021 for incorporating sustainable practices into lease agreements as Capgemini works toward becoming a net-zero organization. The Green Lease Leaders program was created by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Better Buildings Alliance and the Institute for Market Transformation to set standards that define green leases and recognize tenant-landlord relationships that lead to more sustainable communities.
