Responsabilité sociétale
Environnement
Une approche durable, axée sur l'environnement, qui reconnaît la responsabilité et la possibilité d'influencer la manière dont les bâtiments sont construits, approvisionnés, gérés, occupés et vendus.
Notre approche
En tant que leader mondial de la gérance d'immeubles commerciaux, nous prenons des mesures proactives pour rendre nos biens plus respectueux de l'environnement. Nous avons adopté un objectif scientifique de réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES) afin de réduire considérablement les émissions générées par nos activités et par les propriétés que nous gérons.Engagement et politique en matière de durabilité
Nous nous engageons à comprendre l'impact environnemental de nos activités commerciales et à rechercher activement des moyens de mesurer et d'atténuer ces impacts. Lisez l'engagement de CBRE en matière de durabilité environnementale, qui décrit notre système de gestion pour guider les pratiques et les programmes de durabilité et d'environnement.
Notre politique de durabilité environnementale décrit notre ambition de réduire notre impact sur l'environnement et d'encourager les pratiques immobilières durables.
Our Impact
Nearly 97% of our total emissions are related to managing and developing properties for our clients. This includes in-use emissions from managed properties and assets under management, procurement of goods and services on behalf of our clients, embodied carbon and capital goods used in real estate development, and fuel combustion from vehicles used to service properties. CBRE’s ability to achieve our net zero ambition is directly connected to our clients’ and suppliers’ investments in decarbonization.
About 3% of our emissions are associated with our corporate operations. This includes energy use in our leased offices, corporate procurement, waste, employee commute and business travel.
Our Progress
Since 2019, CBRE has reduced absolute GHG emissions across total Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 22%. Scope 1 and 2 emissions make up a small part of our total impact (0.6%) and have decreased 31% since 2019, putting us on track to achieve our near-term target ahead of 2030. Emissions from properties we manage for clients (Scope 3.11) have decreased 26% per square foot since 2019.
We have a clear understanding of the actions required to reach our near-term absolute reduction target. Scope 3 emissions (99.4%) remain our biggest challenge—and an even greater opportunity. While holding ourselves accountable across our corporate operations, we can apply the same insights and expertise to actions for our clients as they work to decarbonize their own real estate portfolios. We know that progress will not be linear and sustained progress will become increasingly complex.
