Cushman & Wakefield Corporate Social Responsibility Report 2018

REDUCING ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION

In Washington D.C., Lafayette Centre, a three-building project owned by Beacon Capital Partners (through an affiliate), saved nearly 2 million kWh in 2018 compared to 2017 as a combined result of Beacon’s conservation programs and Cushman & Wakefield’s support in deploying energy conservation measures and increasing building operating efficiency. Efforts included implementing low

or no-cost practices such as comprehensive in-house preventive maintenance, making temperature adjustments in line with daily weather, performing after- hours inspections to identify and correct unnecessary equipment utility usage and more. The objective

was to help the Lafayette Centre get the most from its existing equipment and installations – proving that, with consistent, attentive management of resources, major benefits can be achieved for building owners and the planet.

ENHANCING THE WAY PEOPLE LIVE AND WORK

We know, both from our own research and from the demands of our clients, that there is a growing emphasis on health and

wellbeing in the workplace. Companies are spending more than ever on wellness programs for employees, and for good reason. As we cited in our Well Workplace Report , an abundance of research demonstrates links between employee wellbeing and bottom line financial outcomes, with

the cost-benefit ratio ranging from 2:3 to 1:10 – meaning for every $1 spent, an organization can expect to receive $10 in value back.

More than a fad, the growing interest in workplace wellbeing represents a global socio-political shift of which Cushman & Wakefield is at the forefront.
