CBRE to reduce its carbon footprint to zero by 2040

CBRE is committed to achieving zero carbon emissions by 2040. The activities will concern both CBRE's own operations, the real estate managed by the company, and emissions in the supply chain. This commitment follows on from the strategy announced a year ago when CBRE's climate targets were endorsed by Science Based Targets (SBTi), a science-based goals initiative.

“As the world's largest commercial property management company, we feel we have a special responsibility to face the challenges that the world is facing right now. We work closely with our clients, we control individual stages of the supply chain, thanks to which we are able to quickly achieve zero CO2 emissions. We consider it an essential element of our commitment to the communities in which we operate and to which we feel obligated. It is also a key building block in our strategy in the field of environment, society, and corporate governance, i.e. ESG,” Daniel Bienias, managing director of CBRE in Poland, said.

As part of a zero-carbon strategy by 2040, CBRE has signed a Climate Pledge, which is co-created by Amazon and Global Optimism. The goal is to achieve zero emissions 10 years faster than the Paris Agreement, which was signed in 2015 by 190 countries. Additionally, the cross-sectoral community of companies and organizations in The Climate Pledge undertakes joint actions to help solve the climate crisis and problems related to the decarbonization of the economy.
