ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE (102-11, 302-103, 305-103, 307-1)

Cushman & Wakefield is committed to being a responsible steward of the environment, as defined in our Global Environment Policy . We adhere to the precautionary principle and seek to identify all environmental risks and opportunities associated with our business including climate change and resource depletion. We aim to conduct our operations and deliver our products and services with high standards of environmental care and social responsibility while striving for continual improvement. As a global real estate services firm largely operating in leased office space, our direct environmental impacts are primarily due to office energy and water consumption, business travel, and waste generation. We manage our energy use, GHG emissions, water withdrawals, waste generation and environmental compliance by:

Collecting measured performance data where available for our operations globally

Setting GHG emissions reduction targets for our operations and supply chain

Monitoring resource use at our facilities

Communicating our environmental performance to our stakeholders

Calculating and disclosing our annual resource consumption and GHG emissions

Providing education and training to employees on environmental management topics

All suppliers and subcontractors are expected to operate in an environmentally responsible manner and adhere to applicable environmental standards. Certain Cushman & Wakefield locations are managed through a formal ISO 14001-certified environmental management system (EMS), including operations in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand and Greater China. Cushman & Wakefield did not receive any material fines or non-monetary sanctions for non-compliance with environmental laws or regulations in 2020.
