About Us
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)
BETTER BEGINS NOW
Cushman & Wakefield will never settle for making change later when the world needs practical changes now. That’s why we believe that a better future begins now. We proudly create a better future by bringing sustainability to the core of everything we do in commercial real estate and beyond.
We work with some of the world’s largest real estate occupiers and investors who share a similar sustainability purpose to ours: Never settle for the world as we know it, but constantly drive forward toward a more sustainable one, every day. Through this shared purpose, we provide integrated sustainable real estate solutions to our clients across their own sustainability journeys from first steps to beyond net zero. We also work to embed sustainability across our own operations and integrate sustainability education into our employee training programs and sustainability principles into our culture.

Sustainability is inextricably woven into our strategy, business and corporate operations. Our sustainability strategy commits to tangible sustainability goals across the following three focus areas: we drive net zero, we accelerate progress and we create positive places.We recognize that the services we deliver for our clients directly impact the world, which is why we strive to make sustainability core to everything we do and contribute to the resilience of our clients’ businesses, strengthening their corporate reputation and reducing risks.
Our science-based targets build upon Cushman & Wakefield’s longstanding goal of reducing our own environmental impact across the property life cycle, including the impact of our suppliers and clients. We believe these targets are important in the global effort to avoid the irreversible impacts of climate change. Cushman & Wakefield has had our emissions reduction targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) External Link as consistent with levels required to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.
