Making an impact in our communities is central to who we are. Cushman & Wakefield’s charitable giving takes place primarily in local markets and is funded by our for-profit entities. Across our geographies— Americas, APAC and EMEA—there are independent charitable initiatives that lead their own regional programs.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IN 2023 Included here are a few examples of Cushman & Wakefield’s community engagement across our regions. For more stories of impact, see our website.

Corporate Volunteerism in Singapore In a landmark initiative, Cushman & Wakefield was proud to have been one of 14 entities selected for Project V , a national pilot shaping the future of corporate volunteerism in Singapore. Project V is led jointly by the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth; the National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre; and the National Council for Social Service. The project aims to transform how companies engage in community service. In addition to volunteerism, the initiative is about building a cohesive society through active corporate participation through regular volunteering and at scale. Our C&W Services Singapore Workplace Experience Team brought together more than 160 employees to be at the heart of two impactful volunteer programs: Bridging the Digital Gap: In collaboration with a local organization, our people stepped up as digital ambassadors to equip the elderly with digital skills. Bi-weekly sessions at our office have empowered the elderly to navigate health apps and secure medical appointments independently. Creating Joyful Experiences at PCF Sparklecare: Through monthly engagements at PCF Sparklecare, an integrated aged care facility, we contribute to create a community of care and companionship through culinary activities like popiah -making and creative pursuits like tote bag painting.
