E. HEALTH SAFETY SECURITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL (HSSE) (CONT.)

CONTRACTOR AND VENDOR MANAGEMENT Cushman & Wakefield’s contractor safety management process is above OSHA and ANSI standards. Controlling risks of our contractors and/or vendors is critical for ensuring our success in client delivery. We believe all incidents are preventable, including those of contractors. Therefore, review and approval of EHS performance of our contractors, prior to initial contractor selection and/or renewal, is valuable. All contractors are required to align their safe-work practices and procedures with Cushman & Wakefield’s and our client’s HSSE requirements. This includes the following contractor/vendor management requirements. 1. Prequalification, 2. Periodic evaluation of on-site HSSE performance; and 3. Closeout review following termination of the contractor services. The prequalification process requires that contractors meet or exceed specified HSSE performance criteria. Each contractor is responsible for ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements, as well as executing any specific safety requirements established by the account/site and/or the customer. Cushman & Wakefield utilizes the Avetta Supplier prequalification platform. Our Avetta tool ensures our suppliers are safe and socially responsible by delivering solutions to prequalify, assess, and monitor compliance based on our HSSE standards. Avetta provides comprehensive assessments resulting in reduced risk of suppliers entering a client’s site. As part of the contractor qualification process, we require subcontractors and suppliers to demonstrate superior performance with regards to EHS metrics, procedures, and training programs. HSSE MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS AND POLICY Cushman & Wakefield’s HSSE Management System is selected, administered, and managed in an effort to mitigate risk for our clients while delivering a safe and comfortable work environment for our employees. To ensure we have a workforce capable of meeting the demands of a complex and varied regulatory environment, it is essential that we train our personnel to recognize and effectively manage the requirements of our HSSE Management System and Governance. A comprehensive and well-planned safety program is the first step in setting expectations and the necessary follow-through to ensure a safe workplace. Our HSSE professionals will provide guidance on establishing the required elements of a safe workplace and managing HSSE on an ongoing basis. Cushman & Wakefield’s approach to HSSE planning can be found in our HSSE Management System and our 360 HSSE programs’ for establishing a safe work culture. 1. Policy – Sites communicate C&W Policy, establishing clear commitments and management/ employee responsibilities. 2. Planning – Sites conduct an Account Risk Review (ARR) to identify HSSE program requirements. 3. Implementation – Sites implement the HSSE requirements that apply to their operations. 4. Checking – Sites check their performance and take corrective action as needed, and; 5. Management review – Senior management conducts reviews of sites and their performance
