2022 Environmental Social Governance (ESG) Report
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY [403]
At Cushman & Wakefield, we strive to create and maintain healthy and safe workplaces where our employees and clients can thrive and make a positive impact on the communities in which we operate. Our Health, Safety, Security and Environment (HSSE) team’s vision is to lead the industry by creating meaningful value through robust internal processes and services that promote health and safety. To achieve this, the HSSE team renewed its strategic plan in 2022, outlining key performance indicators (KPIs) aligned to the Global 360° HSSE Operating Model, an enterprise-wide, behavior-based program designed to increase awareness, improve competencies in health and safety, and develop a culture of responsibility and accountability. The HSSE team reports on progress against its strategic plan to our leadership team monthly.
At the core of our Global 360° HSSE Operating Model are three pillars supporting each of the HSSE team’s objectives: Culture, Systems and Procedures,
and Leadership. These pillars guide our teams’ collective goals.
HSSE Culture We nurture a culture that supports the health and safety of all stakeholders. HSEE Systems - Procedures We develop and deploy effective and compliant systems of work that support the management of operational hazards and their

associated risks, which ensures we consistently meet the requirements and expectations of our organization, our clients, and the legislative environments in which we operate. HSSE Leadership We develop proactive HSSE leadership and individual HSSE competencies by enabling effective individual behaviors and decision-making, which maximizes our opportunities to enhance productivity. Throughout 2022, the HSSE team implemented several additional initiatives to enhance our health and safety efforts, including a global HSSE capability development framework, a new HSSE software platform and a process for sharing best practices and lessons learned internally. These efforts facilitate the improvement of health and safety strategies and enable the sharing of such strategies with both our employees and our clients. See the Recording and Reporting Hazards and Incidents section for more information on the new HSSE software platform.
Model (pictured to the right) integrates a “plan, do and check” quality cycle designed for regular assessment of our
operations and mitigation of potential risks and hazards: "Plan” is reflected in Planning; “do” is reflected in Support and Operation; and “check” is reflected in Operation Evaluation and Improvement. To help ensure each step of the cycle is completed efficiently and correctly, we have established global HSSE guidelines that cover our minimum expectations around identifying, assessing and managing health and safety risks. These guidelines in turn support the regional or country management systems and facilitate our efforts to meet the requirements of key relevant international standards, including ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.
