CSR AT THE CENTER OF WHAT’S NEXT - OUR BUILDING BLOCKS THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGs)

OUR STAKEHOLDERS

These are our key stakeholder groups, who influence our business most directly and whose broader expectations of Cushman & Wakefield inform our CSR strategy.

In 2015, the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was adopted by 193 heads of state and governments. The 2030 Agenda is an overarching global plan of action for people, planet and prosperity, with 17 SDGs and 169 associated targets at its core. While many of the goals address the actions and intentions of governments, business has a significant role to play in driving action to achieve the goals. After a review of the 17 SDGs and considering our commitment to furthering sustainable development through our business, we believe our business can be a force for good and advance the SDGs. Therefore, we have prioritized five of the 17 SDGs that reflect our most significant impacts to help inform our strategy going forward.

Employees

Our employees are the drivers of our success. They expect a friendly, caring and supportive workplace, competitive benefits, opportunities to deliver at their best, and to grow and develop. Our clients fuel our business growth. They want to be at the center of what’s next. They look to us for advanced, effective solutions to all their commercial real estate needs, and to provide outstanding service. Suppliers and vendors are our partners in delivering our best solutions for our clients. They look for positive, long-term fair dealing, and opportunities to perform their best work. Local communities in the cities and countries in which we operate are the source of our inspiration and key providers of resources. They rely on Cushman & Wakefield to consider their quality of life, now and in the future, while delivering environmentally sustainable real estate solutions and playing a role in enhancing community life.

We provide an inclusive, empowering workplace. See the section “Valuing Our People” on page 32 for many examples of how this works every day.
