OUR COMMITMENT TO A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

Cushman & Wakefield is taking action to protect our planet and create sustainable value for our people, clients, planet and communities. 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.
