CBRE's Sustainability Targets
Science Based Targets
- CBRE commits to net zero carbon emissions by 2040. Learn more
- 79% reduction in emissions per square foot in facilities CBRE manages for occupiers by 2035
- 67% reduction in emissions per square foot in facilities CBRE manages for investors by 2035
- 100% renewable electricity by 2035, including transitioning our vehicle fleet to electric vehicles
Our approach
Our aim is to reduce the total cost of ownership of our clients’ portfolios and their journey to net-zero as a transition programme implemented across the integrated facilities management operating model, requiring strong coordination, collaboration and systems working across the value chain within a robust governance structure.
Our programme
Our methodology brings together talent, capabilities, and experience as a global property occupier, investor and manager to achieve carbon neutrality commitments, improve portfolio resiliency and reduce asset life-cycle costs, while mitigating risk and friction within company operations as these changes are deployed.
What is TRIP?
The Real Impact ProjectThe real estate industry is one of the biggest contributors of greenhouse gas emissions and therefore has a leading role in the transition to a sustainable future.
We believe that CBRE and its partners can and will move the real estate sector towards a sustainable future. The projects we work on shape the future of commercial real estate and are therefore crucial in achieving climate objectives. We commit to realize 25% of the CO2 reductions for commercial real estate from the climate agreement with you, before 2030.
Therefore we are going to do the following:
-
Integrate sustainability advice in every service line.
During 2021, CBRE is going to integrate sustainability advice in every service line. Not as an appendix, but as an integrated part of each service we provide. -
Monitor, benchmark and share the CO2 reduction
As of 2021, CBRE is going to monitor, benchmark and share the CO2 reduction of every property we work on across every business line. We will disclose the progress made.
