INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THIS REPORT SCOPE Cushman & Wakefield’s CSR Report for 2016 demonstrates our continued commitment to stakeholder engagement and transparency by sharing our sustainability milestones and highlighting our accomplishments over the past year as they relate to our environmental, social, and governance directives. Our second report since the firm’s 2015 merger covers our activities across Cushman & Wakefield’s global operations in all regions—Americas, EMEA, Greater China, and APAC, unless otherwise noted. This report was prepared using those aspects of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G4 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines the firm can report on at this time. Except where noted, the information covered in this report highlights our performance and achievements in environmental, social, and governance areas in fiscal year 2016 (January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016). Updates through early 2017 are included when available and significant. This report has not been externally assured. As an industry leader, Cushman & Wakefield remains committed to the ongoing review and enhancement of its CSR program. To that end, our goal is to prepare future reports

in accordance with the GRI framework. This report and archived reports can be accessed at http://www.cushmanwakefield.com/en/about-us/corporate-responsibility/ .

STAKEHOLDERS Maintaining open communication channels with our stakeholders to ensure our services are aligned to address their challenges and concerns and deliver maximum value is fundamental to our success. Our key stakeholder groups are comprised of individuals and organizations that are either impacted by or impact our operations. Included are our ownership, employees, clients, vendors, industry organizations, regulating bodies, advocacy groups, non- governmental organizations (NGOs), competitors, and the communities around the world in which we operate. We interact with our stakeholders in many ways throughout the year, including through client satisfaction surveys, industry events, social media channels, employee training and engagement programs,

and charitable and fundraising activities, to name a few. Our firm’s intranet site and other internal communication channels are employed to disseminate and share information across our global employee base. We also actively engage with industry groups, NGOs, community organizations, and peer companies to leverage external knowledge and expertise, and help guide us in our strategy.
