2022 Environmental Social Governance (ESG) Report

ECONOMIC IMPACT IN THE U.S. In 2022, Cushman & Wakefield commissioned a study with the Consulting and Business Development Center at the University of Washington Foster School of Business in an attempt to help us to understand the economic impact of our spend with diverse suppliers (the “UW Economic Impact Report”). The study analyzed the impact of Cushman & Wakefield’s diverse supplier spend from 2019 to 2021 in the United States, which spend totaled as much as $1.2 billion with more than 4,000 diverse businesses. The study used US Bureau of Economic Analysis modeling techniques to estimate the total economic value that each dollar of direct spend produces as it cycles through the economy. We believe this study provides quantitative details about how our Supplier Diversity Program has positively impacted the communities we serve by creating jobs and influencing local economies.
