2022 Environmental Social Governance (ESG) Report

DEI, and they help us gain a better understanding of the employee experience and perspectives on DEI, our culture, and opportunities to make greater progress. Last year, we held eight roundtables in Chicago, New York, Washington, D.C., Australia, Singapore, Germany and France. Through the hard work and dedication of our nine Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), we saw meaningful growth in 2022 across DEI awareness, education, employee engagement and a sense of belonging at Cushman & Wakefield. Consistent with our culture of inclusion, ERGs reflect our people across Cushman & Wakefield and are open to all employees.

In 2022, our ERGs were comprised of thousands of employees, in over 30 countries across the globe, and we increased membership by 19% from January to December. In 2022, we held more than 115 learning and educational events around the world and hosted our first U.S. ERG Summit to celebrate the contributions of the ERGs, equip ERG leaders with resources to be successful in their ERG roles and empower them to drive greater impact. As we continue to grow our ERG presence around the globe, we also aim to expand celebratory and leadership development opportunities, such as the ERG summit, for ERG leaders across all regions. ASPIRE entered 2022 with a call for the AAPI community to reflect on their collective strength, growth, partnership and allyship amongst AAPI colleagues. They held educational and cultural awareness events, partnering with Ascend , the largest Pan-Asian business professional organization in North America, to foster allyship support for the AAPI community. ASPIRE also featured programming about how authenticity and personal experiences can help strengthen leadership capabilities and build a more diverse and successful organization. BUILD focused on amplifying the voices of Black and Brown colleagues, creating understanding through allyship and developing BUILD’s talent through mentorship, workshops and other educational programs. BUILD celebrated Juneteenth with a program featuring guest speakers who led discussions ranging from the history of Juneteenth to the impacts of property ownership within Black communities. In recognition of the National Day of Service for Martin Luther King Jr., BUILD also raised awareness of food disparity through an educational food challenge and raised funds for Feeding America.
