2022 Environmental Social Governance (ESG) Report

Cushman & Wakefield also offers opportunities for our people to upskill in client-facing roles. For example, we have apprenticeship programs at key client locations to provide training for careers in specific trades. Our sales learning programs, which are offered to all brokerage professionals regardless of title or tenure, help enhance on-the job learning. In 2022, we continued the Account Director Development Program which launched in 2021, expanding the pilot program from one service line to cover professionals in three of our largest recurring revenue businesses—Global Occupier Services, Asset Services and C&W Services. Designed to reach employees who are two years out from becoming an Account Director, the program partners a cohort of approximately 60 learners directly with senior leaders for in-depth 90-minute sessions on key focus areas. The goal is to provide participants with direct exposure to the types of challenges they can anticipate in their roles ahead. The program has had over 150 participants in 2021 and 2022 and seeks to put an additional 100+ learners through the program in 2023.

Global Sustainability Learning

As our firm strives to further our impact as an industry leader in sustainability for our clients and communities, we are committed to enhancing our firm’s collective knowledge about sustainability, our firm’s operational areas of focus and our desired impact. To make our commitment tangible, on November 9, 2022, World Sustainability Day, we launched a learning course that provides our people with an overview of sustainability and why it is important to Cushman & Wakefield. This course aims to teach the core principles of sustainability to help build foundational knowledge and a shared understanding of key environmental, social, and governance (ESG) concepts and a baseline understanding of our efforts and commitments. In 2022, we had 11,168 employees take the voluntary global sustainability learning course. We continue to offer the course and have had more than 9,500 employees take the course in the first half of 2023. We also offer more intensive sustainability training to those it is most relevant to, enabling our team members such as brokers and sales professionals to make an impact on Cushman & Wakefield’s external stakeholders.
