Our Approach

OURVALUES COME TO LIFE WHENOUR CLIENTS TRUST US.

Why do our governance and ethics practices matter? We believe that having formal, well-codified norms of behavior build resilience into our business, enabling us to be better partners to our clients and deliver the best results we can, regardless of business cycle volatility or other headwinds that we face. How are we driving forward? We seek to foster trust across our value chain. Cushman & Wakefield interacts with many stakeholders across the commercial real estate industry. Our business relationships necessitate clear rules and procedures for how we behave, and how we expect others to behave in their dealings with us. Our corporate governance and sustainability oversight structures seek to ensure that all types of risks are understood and addressed across our organization. Our Global Code of Business Conduct is a foundational document that defines key aspects of our approach to doing business. Rules of engagement for other aspects of our business, such as our Global Vendor/Supplier Integrity Policy, our Environment Policy and our Global Anti-Harassment and Anti-Discrimination Policy (all available here ), set further ground rules for developing relationships of trust. We believe in doing better by doing good. We strive to be a good corporate citizen, a caring and attentive employer, a positive contributor to the communities of which we are a member and a trusted partner for all our stakeholders. We prioritize the well-being and safety of our employees and suppliers, uphold the highest ethical standards and seek opportunities to improve the world around us. Our corporate governance policies and practices address many of these ambitions. How is it aligned with our business objectives? Our success is tied to the trust and confidence of our stakeholders worldwide. Formal governance and compliance processes and programs drive impact for our clients and stakeholders and enable better business resilience.
