Cushman And Wakefield

Cushman & Wakefield, a US-based real estate services company, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 8.96 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This includes about 16.5 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 634,000 kg CO2e from market-based Scope 2 emissions (or 8.58 million kg CO2e location-based Scope 2 emissions), and approximately 8.94 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions.

Looking back, their total emissions were about 7.6 billion kg CO2e in 2024 and 7.7 billion kg CO2e in 2023.

Cushman & Wakefield has set ambitious climate commitments. They aim to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across their corporate offices and operations by 50% by 2030, using a 2019 base year. Furthermore, they are committed to reaching net-zero emissions across their entire value chain (Scopes 1, 2, and 3) by 2050 from a 2019 base year. This long-term target also includes a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 2050 from a 2019 base year.

Their near-term targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) include reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 73.1% by 2034 from a 2019 base year. For Scope 3 emissions, they commit to reducing GHG emissions by 66.3% per square foot of managed area for clients within the same timeframe. Cushman & Wakefield also pledges to engage clients whose operations represent 70% of CO2 emissions at properties they manage globally to set science-based targets by 2025. These targets align with the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement.
