Our Approach

WE DON'T RUNAWAY FROMOUR CLIENTS' BIGGEST PROBLEMS. WE RUN TO THEM.

WE CREATE POSITIVE PLACES by embedding sustainability across all our services, helping our clients achieve their ambitious ESG goals across their real estate portfolios. We advise them on rethinking, repositioning and repurposing real estate strategies, weaving in ESG considerations across the real estate life cycle that have outsized impact on their sustainability performance.

Why do our client services matter? We recognize that the services we deliver for our clients directly impact the world and contribute to the resilience of their businesses, strengthen their corporate reputations and reduce risks. While a company’s commercial real estate strategy may not seem like a primary lever for achieving its ESG goals, we know better (and better never settles). We know that seemingly isolated decision points in the commercial real estate life cycle are actually iceberg tips with underlying impacts on more factors like talent, diversity, employee well-being, climate change resilience, and so much more. How are we driving forward? Cushman & Wakefield is differentiated by our ability to outthink and outdo to help solve the challenges faced by our clients. We take pride in transforming complex problems into approachable steps and in contributing to our clients’ appetite and ability to go further in their sustainability journeys. We are transparent in our assessment and advice , even when presenting the unvarnished truth is not the easiest path forward. What sets us apart is our ability to integrate sustainability and property expertise and collaboratively execute sustainability strategies at all stages for all asset classes, whether it be incorporating sustainability guidelines into design and construction projects; saving energy; reducing carbon emissions, water consumption and waste; or integrating sustainability criteria into a capital transaction. How is it aligned with our business objectives? Joining our clients on their sustainability journeys is an integral part of Cushman & Wakefield’s business strategy. We proudly help our clients achieve their ambitious ESG goals by integrating sustainability into our services and taking advantage of the opportunities we have to effect change through our commercial real estate capabilities. Our service offerings are aligned with the evolving sustainability needs of real estate owners, investors and occupiers as they navigate changing winds like demographic shifts, hybrid work, climate change, technology adoption and stricter environmental regulations.
