2021 Environmental Social Governance (ESG) Report

Occupier Services (GOS), working on high profile projects related to the healthcare industry and technology companies, as well as workplace strategy and optimization. My substantial experience in collecting and analyzing data from office and industrial portfolios, utilization studies, surveys and interviews gives me a unique perspective on how to approach sustainability initiatives through a real estate lens and a data analytics lens. Data can tell us a story and inform us where to dig further and where we already have our answers. That story helps us build our strategy. My passion for sustainability stems from urban planning courses I took as an undergraduate student. I further explored this area in graduate school, and my master’s project delved into sustainability in city infrastructure and parks. I later earned a LEED Green Associate certification and a Certificate of Leadership in Sustainability Management from the University of Chicago. My passion for sustainability and the built environment runs deep. When this job came along, I felt it was in complete alignment with who I am and what I want to do. Q: What are you excited about for the upcoming few years? A: While there are lots of exciting developments in the implementation of technology solutions to mitigate emissions and forge our path to net zero, I’m most excited about the innovative ways we can communicate these solutions, both within our company and to our clients. Data and technology are key elements in providing a pathway to strategic solutions, but it’s the people who we work with and the diverse talent coming in that will ultimately change hearts and minds as we tackle the very pressing issue of climate change.

In 2021, we hired a Global Sustainability and Energy Manager who is responsible for enterprise-level sustainability initiatives, including science-based targets achievement planning and execution.
