2022 Environmental Social Governance (ESG) Report
SOCIAL
HEALTHCARE TRAVEL REIMBURSEMENT Cushman & Wakefield believes in the importance of access to safe and consistent healthcare, regardless of where one lives. In 2022, we expanded our U.S. healthcare benefits to reimburse up to $2,000 of travel related expenses for our people enrolled in our company medical plan and their covered family members for U.S. medical care that is not available within 100 miles of an employee’s home, including reproductive healthcare. INTERNATIONAL SOS Cushman & Wakefield continues to work with International SOS to provide traveling employees with medical and security assistance and advice before, during and after their international business trips. Should there be an emergency while an employee is traveling outside of work, International SOS can connect them to medical assistance. The medical directors at International SOS maintain support for our people in a variety of other ways, including advising on office safety protocols and sharing the latest developments on travel risks.
EAF FUND AND UKRAINE RELIEF We continue to provide our people supplemental support through Cushman & Wakefield’s Employee Assistance Fund (EAF) for extraordinary circumstances presented by unforeseen financial and personal hardships. In 2022, we expanded the scope of the EAF beyond COVID-19 relief to help colleagues experiencing hardships such as the conflict in Ukraine. In addition, we supported other colleagues who were impacted or needed financial relief to help others, such as those in surrounding countries who provided housing, transportation and resources to refugees. Our efforts toward Ukraine relief have amounted to 34 grants distributed. Since launching the EAF in 2020, nearly 6,000 grants have been distributed to employees in over 20 countries as of March 2023. The EAF is funded by Cushman & Wakefield and employee donations. In addition, Care First, our Employee Assistance Program provider, ran special webinars to support those who may be struggling with the situation in Ukraine and continues to provide resources for personal mental wellness and to support self-exploration of workplace diversity topics.
