Notes: • We use the operational control approach, as set forth in GHG Protocol accounting principles, to determine our organizational boundary for the purposes of compiling our water and waste inventory. All global owned and leased facilities are included. • The majority of our data for water withdrawals information is estimated using industry average intensities by region, as we have limited access to reliable measured data. Industry average water estimation intensities are sourced from the U.S. DOE's Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS 2012) Table W1, February 2017. • Water withdrawn in areas of water stress is not tracked. • A majority of our data for waste generation and diversion via recycling from landfill is estimated using industry average intensities for large commercial office buildings. Estimation intensities are sourced from the U.S. California Environmental Protection Agency, Integrated Waste Management Board, Waste Disposal and Diversion Findings for Selected Industry Groups, Table 21, June 2006. • The “Total Non-hazardous Waste Generated” 2022 figure also includes two tons of composted waste, which is not specified separately in the above table. • Cushman & Wakefield had zero reports of significant environmental impact incidents or regulatory involvement incidents relating to hazardous waste for 2022 via our global HSSE incident reporting systems.
