Cbre

CBRE, a global real estate services firm headquartered in the US, reported a total of approximately 17.8 billion kg CO2e emissions for the year 2025. This figure encompasses Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Scope 3 emissions constitute the vast majority, estimated at around 17.7 billion kg CO2e, with significant contributions from "purchased goods and services" (approximately 6.1 billion kg CO2e) and "use of sold products" (approximately 10.1 billion kg CO2e). Scope 2 emissions, on a market-based approach, were approximately 8.4 million kg CO2e, while Scope 1 emissions were about 60.5 million kg CO2e.

CBRE has established robust climate commitments. Notably, the company has committed to reducing its absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 68% by 2035, using 2019 as a baseline year. This science-based target has been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Furthermore, CBRE aims to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2040 across its value chain. The company is also working towards purchasing 100% renewable electricity for its operations by 2025.

In addition to these overarching goals, CBRE has specific targets for emissions reductions in managed facilities. For properties managed for occupiers worldwide, CBRE aims to reduce emissions by 79% per square foot by 2035. For properties managed for investors, the target is to reduce emissions by 67% per square foot by 2035. Near-term goals include a 50% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030, from the 2019 baseline, and a 55% reduction in emissions per square foot from properties managed for clients by 2030.
