ABOUT THIS REPORT
Cushman & Wakefield is pleased to release our first Corporate Responsibility Report, which details our
approach to integrating environmental and social principles into our corporate structure. As our first
Corporate Responsibility report, it will serve as a benchmark for our future performance.
The report covers Cushman & Wakefield’s global operations (including C&W Services) in all operating
regions — Americas, EMEA, Greater China, and APAC, unless otherwise noted. It excludes affiliate
office information and supplier information. This report provides an overview of the environmental
and social impacts of Cushman & Wakefield globally in 2015 and was prepared using those aspects
of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G4 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines the firm can report
on at this time. Cushman & Wakefield hopes to prepare its 2016 report in full compliance with
the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G4 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines. This report has
not been externally assured.
The data used in this report was collected from the various legacy companies that make
up the new Cushman & Wakefield. These “legacy” companies include not just DTZ and
Cushman & Wakefield, whose mega-merger closed September 1, 2015, but also Cassidy
Turley, which merged with DTZ at the beginning of 2015, and several other DTZ and
Cushman & Wakefield acquisitions. We are currently tackling the big challenge of
integrating our systems and improving data processes. The information in this
report represents the best available information at the time of publication.
STAKEHOLDERS
Cushman & Wakefield stakeholders include our clients, employees and their
families, suppliers and vendors, majority shareholders — an investor
group led by TPG Capital (TPG), PAG Asia Capital (PAG) and the
Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan (OTPP) — and regulatory bodies.
Stakeholders have been identified based on the influence they have
over our operations and vice versa. Cushman & Wakefield
continuously engages these groups to deepen our understanding
of their needs and expectations.
