Annual Waste Generation and Diversion Waste Volume (Metric Tons)

Water consumption and waste are not material topics for Cushman & Wakefield, based on our materiality analysis. However, they are topics we monitor in our aim to be better environmental stewards.

We expect to roll out waste reduction and recycling programs globally in 2024. Our Global Sustainability Ambassadors program will leverage local teams to drive recycling initiatives in offices across our geographies. These efforts are expected to include implementing waste reduction and recycling programs and eliminating single-use plastics in all our offices. EMEA and APAC have already made significant progress on this front. Water Management We consume water through irrigation, cooling and in-office kitchen areas and restrooms. In 2023, Cushman & Wakefield offices withdrew an estimated total of 64 million gallons of water from third-party municipal suppliers and utilities. We discharge wastewater properly to municipal treatment facilities in accordance with local and national rules and standards.

All Cushman & Wakefield offices used for our corporate operations are leased and often co located with other tenants, which makes the task of collecting complete and accurate water and waste data difficult. Nevertheless, we work to improve our global processes and expect our accuracy in monitoring waste disposal and water consumption to improve in tandem with the next-generation environmental data management systems we are rolling out across the company. Waste Management We manage the environmental footprint of our offices by monitoring and mitigating the waste generated by our leased office spaces and facilities. We understand the role waste management plays in achieving our net-zero targets. Our waste diversion efforts include recycling and composting, which we are working to increase. In 2023, we generated a total of approximately 2,521 metric tons of non-hazardous waste in our office buildings, an 11.1% decrease compared to the previous year. We estimate that a total of approximately 249 metric tons were recycled or diverted from landfill disposal, an improvement of 20.3% year-over-year.
