2022 Environmental Social Governance (ESG) Report Summary

MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO

Michelle MacKay Chief Executive Officer

As a leading global commercial real estate firm, we believe Cushman & Wakefield has a responsibility to help create a more sustainable and inclusive future for our people, clients and planet. It is my pleasure to introduce our 2022 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report, which highlights the firm’s global impact. Cushman & Wakefield views ESG as a key priority for our business; our belief that ‘life is what we make it’ drives our determination to deliver value. We prioritize responsible corporate citizenship, reducing our environmental impact and creating an inclusive workplace for all. In this report, we provide updates on our journey toward meeting our ambitious science-based greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets, showcase our sustainability solutions to reduce our own and our clients’ carbon footprints, and spotlight advancements within diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). With this report, we also reaffirm Cushman & Wakefield’s support of the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact in the areas of human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption.

A few of the highlights of our 2022 progress that we are most proud of include:

> Observing a 51% reduction in total Scope 1 and 2 (market-based) GHG emissions per million square feet of office space in 2022 as compared to 2021.

> Percentage of women on the Board of Directors increased from 40% in 2021 to 44% in 2022.

> Percentage of women in executive roles increased year-over-year from 22% in 2021 to 41% in 2022.

> Employing a U.S. workforce that is 45% racially/ethnically diverse. 1

> Spending $802.4 million with over 3,600 diverse suppliers 2 in 2022 in North America, a 38% increase from the previous year. Through our work, we have tremendous opportunity to extend our impact. Around the world, many of our clients are looking to us to help achieve their own ESG goals. Our size, scale and balance of strategic and technical capabilities make us well suited to integrate ESG within the property lifecycle for our own firm and to help our clients do the same. Looking ahead, I'm excited and proud to be the first woman CEO to lead one of the world’s largest global commercial real estate firms. I bring the firm 30 years of experience in commercial real estate in addition to previously serving on Cushman & Wakefield’s Board of Directors before joining the executive team more than three years ago. I look forward to leading this great firm through its next chapter of strategic growth. This report offers a deep dive into what we have accomplished, what we are planning, and how our values across the ESG areas drive impact. To learn more about our efforts, I invite you to read this report.
