Water and Waste (303-1, 303-2, 303-3, 306-3)

Water at Cushman & Wakefield facilities is consumed through irrigation, cooling and in office kitchen areas and restrooms. In 2021, Cushman & Wakefield offices withdrew an estimated total of nearly 72.8 million gallons of water from third party municipal suppliers and utilities. Cushman & Wakefield has not identified any substantive water related impacts associated with our activities, so we have not focused on engaging stakeholders to manage water as a shared resource. We seek to ensure that our wastewater is properly discharged to municipal treatment facilities in accordance with local and national rules and standards.

The majority of Cushman & Wakefield offices are leased and often co-located with other tenants. Therefore, it is challenging for us to collect complete and accurate data on water and waste. Consequently, in years past our water and waste data was solely based on regional industry averages per square foot for large office buildings. In 2021, select offices across EMEA were able to provide more accurate waste and water information due to improved data collection processes. In 2022, we plan to implement management systems across the business to increase our capacity to capture complete and accurate data on water and waste for our operations. Cushman & Wakefield generates commercial office waste and electronic waste at our facilities. Where feasible, we seek to divert materials for recycling or composting. In 2021, we generated a total of approximately 3,044 short tons of non-hazardous waste in our office buildings, of which we estimated a total of approximately 201 short tons were recycled or diverted from landfill disposal. Our offices do not generate hazardous waste.
