Climate Change Actions

CBRE adopted a new environmental sustainability policy in July 2012 committing to measure and report its internal carbon footprint as well as supply chain emissions by 2013.  The company will also develop standards and policies to reduce energy and resource consumption and waste production and report those results.

For areas under the company’s control, CBRE will establish annual reduction targets and verify progress through continued development of environmental management programs.  It is also taking steps to locate at least 70% of its corporate facilities over 20,000 square feet in space or buildings with recognized green building standards by 2017.
