> Historical data was reviewed and updated for improved accuracy and classification for data. The boundary of Scope 3 Category 11 was updated, resulting in lower emissions for 2023. Additionally, the methodology for Scope 3 Category 7 was updated in accordance with current best practices for accuracy. We are analyzing the potential of recalculation and restatement of prior years' figures in order to retain comparative integrity due to necessary methodological changes.

Notes:

> We use the operational control approach in compilation of our water and waste inventory in accordance with the GHG Protocol accounting principles. All global owned and leased facilities are included. > A majority of waste generation and diversion via recycling from landfill is estimated using industry average intensities for large commercial office buildings. Estimation intensities are sourced from the U.S. California Environmental Protection Agency, Integrated Waste Management Board, Waste Disposal and Diversion Findings for Selected Industry Groups, Table 21, June 2006. > Cushman & Wakefield does not generate hazardous waste beyond immaterial amounts of common household hazardous waste that can be handled internally and do not pose a significant risk to people or the environment.
