2022 Environmental Social Governance (ESG) Report

REFORESTING FOR A MORE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE In 2021, Cushman & Wakefield in Italy began a collaboration with Treedom, an Italian organization that plants trees and brings environmental, social and financial benefits to communities mainly in Africa and Latin America. Our aim is to create a Cushman & Wakefield forest that will help absorb CO2 emissions and reforest areas that need it most. In 2022, we continued this partnership, and our forest has grown to more than 2,450 young trees worldwide. To continue to grow our forest, Cushman & Wakefield in Italy has committed to planting 1,000 trees each year for the next three years. In addition, in 2022, as a thanks to clients in Argentina, local employees offered clients a choice between planting a native tree themselves in a location of their choice, or for Cushman & Wakefield to plant a tree in their name in a region in Argentina that needed to be reforested. Sixty percent of the clients who accepted the gift chose the reforestation tree while the other 40% chose to plant it themselves. This initiative was done in collaboration with the ONG Un Arbol, which is dedicated to regenerating natural environments. Cushman & Wakefield Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane offices in Australia are committed to operational efficiency and a low carbon future. Our Sydney and Melbourne offices are run on 100% renewable energy and our Melbourne and Brisbane sites are rated 6 and 5 stars under the Australian NABERS Energy rating standard. This puts them in the 'Market Leading' and 'Excellent' performance bands respectively. As a firm, we are committed to advancing these green energy practices for our own office use and seek to continue to model these priorities for our industry.

ESG DATA & TECHNOLOGY Our dedication to data-driven solutions leads us to seek advanced technology solutions for tracking and monitoring GHG emissions across our operations and supply chain. We’re proud to partner with innovative technology providers to deliver streamlined environmental data collection, analysis, insights and data- backed solutions to our clients. At the same time, we use many of the same technologies on our own leased portfolio and professional services activities to understand and monitor the environmental footprint of our own business and operations. We are collaborating with Salesforce and leveraging one of their solutions to enhance the company’s ESG tracking and reporting capabilities. A venture to accelerate progress toward the firm’s science-based targets and achieve net zero GHG emissions across its entire value chain, Cushman & Wakefield will use Salesforce Net Zero Cloud globally to efficiently track, analyze and report reliable ESG data and insights. We believe high-quality data is vital in understanding our GHG footprint and formulating our strategy to reduce our emissions.
