10/2/2018

Third annual report reinforces the firm’s position as a market leader and responsible corporate citizen


CHICAGO - Cushman & Wakefield (NYSE: CWK), a leading global real estate services firm, today released its third annual Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Report. The report highlights the firm’s commitment to transforming commercial real estate markets for the benefit of customers, society and the environment, and aligns the company’s approach with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to make progress toward international objectives.

Cushman & Wakefield’s CSR Report covering 2017 provides a detailed overview of strides made in environmental sustainability, energy management, governance, ethics, safety, procurement, diversity and inclusion, veterans support, community outreach, and other areas impacting health and wellbeing during the 2017 fiscal year (Jan. 1, 2017, through Dec. 31, 2017).

“We are particularly proud of our Corporate Social Responsibility Program,” said Cushman & Wakefield’s Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer and CSR Executive Sponsor, Maria D’Avanzo. “This report demonstrates our commitment to building a sustainable future through our global platform and local expertise.”

The report covers global efforts in the firm’s three regions of operation: Americas; Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA); and Asia Pacific (APAC).

The CSR report considers the firm’s business strategy and stakeholder expectations, focusing efforts on putting clients and employees at the center of what’s next and being a responsible business partner.
