Cbre

Cbre's reported carbon emissions

CBRE, headquartered in the US, has outlined ambitious climate commitments, including a goal to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2040 across its value chain. This commitment is supported by Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated milestones. In terms of emissions, CBRE reported approximately **17.8 billion kg CO2e** for the year 2025 (though the reporting year listed for this data is 2025, the data itself appears to be for the reporting year 2025). This total includes Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. For context, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 60.5 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) were about 8.4 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions accounted for the vast majority at approximately 17.7 billion kg CO2e. The most significant contributors to Scope 3 emissions in 2025 were purchased goods and services (about 6.1 billion kg CO2e) and the use of sold products (approximately 10.1 billion kg CO2e). CBRE has set a target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 68% by 2035 from a 2019 baseline. Furthermore, the company aims for a 50% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030, also from a 2019 baseline. In addition to these operational targets, CBRE has also set intensity-based reduction goals for emissions related to properties managed for clients. Specific reduction initiatives include a target to achieve 100% renewable electricity for its offices by 2025 and to transition its vehicle fleet to electric by 2035. CBRE is also committed to reducing emissions from properties they manage for clients by 55% per square foot by 2030. The company's commitment to sustainability is further demonstrated by its participation in the Climate Pledge, a commitment to net-zero by 2040. CBRE's emissions data and targets are reported on a global scale.
