Cbre

CBRE's total reported carbon emissions for 2025 were approximately 17.79 billion kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 emissions of approximately 60.5 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 8.39 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 17.73 billion kg CO2e.

Looking back, their total emissions were approximately 18.01 billion kg CO2e in 2024 and 18.07 billion kg CO2e in 2023. In 2021, CBRE's total emissions were approximately 19.61 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 47.45 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at about 48.31 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 19.51 billion kg CO2e. The significant increase in total emissions in 2020 to approximately 70.82 billion kg CO2e was primarily due to a substantial rise in Scope 3 emissions, which reached about 70.71 billion kg CO2e in that year.

CBRE has established comprehensive climate commitments, with Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated targets. The company aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its value chain by 2040.

Their near-term targets include:

• Reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 50% by 2030 from a 2019 base year.
• Reducing Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products in buildings managed for clients by 55% per square foot by 2030 from a 2019 base year.

For long-term targets, CBRE commits to:

• Reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2040 from a 2019 base year.
• Reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% by 2040 from a 2019 base year.

The company has also committed to purchasing 100% renewable electricity for its corporate operations by 2025 and transitioning to an entirely electric vehicle fleet by 2035. CBRE is a signatory of The Climate Pledge.
