2022 Environmental Social Governance (ESG) Report

ESG PRIORITIES MATERIAL TOPICS [3-1, 3-2, 3-3]

Input from our stakeholders helps us ensure our approach to applicable areas of ESG reflects the impact we have on the environment, society and the economy. We conducted a materiality assessment in 2021 in accordance with GRI standards. Employees, clients, suppliers and shareholders provided input via a survey that resulted in the identification of 13 material 6 ESG topics and five additional ESG topics that are important to our business and stakeholders. The 13 material ESG topics are central to our firm’s strategy and approach to ESG, while the five additional ESG topics are ones we monitor. Although we believe that all of the topics are important to our business, our assessment provides us with direction on how to prioritize different initiatives and allocate our resources. Cushman & Wakefield’s 2020 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Report provides a comprehensive description of this materiality assessment. As a best practice, Cushman & Wakefield intends to conduct materiality assessments every few years to determine the topics that reflect our most significant impacts as well as those topics that influence the decisions of our stakeholders.

6 “Materiality” as used throughout this report refers to the way “materiality” is used and described in the GRI Universal Standards. In this report, we are not using the terms "material" or "materiality" as they are used under the securities or other laws of the U.S. or any other jurisdiction, or as they are used in the context of financial statements and financial reporting. “Materiality,” for the purposes of this document should not, therefore, be read as equating to any use of the word in other Cushman & Wakefield reporting or filings.
