Our Own Operations

We are taking steps to minimize the environmental impact and carbon footprint of our corporate offices. We have updated our site selection guidelines to prioritize more energy efficient and sustainably managed spaces. We also updated our energy efficiency policy, our interior fit-out standards and waste reduction policy. We continue to explore strategies for reducing our greenhouse gas emissions, increasing use of renewable energy, conserving water, and reducing waste.

Our Environmental Focus, Workplace Strategies and Sustainable Business Practices

We are focused on the environment and recognize the importance of treating our natural resources with respect, so that they are available to future generations. Building operations have a significant impact on the environment, and as technology continues to place greater demands on building systems for power and cooling, energy consumption is expected to continue to rise at an unsustainable rate. As one of the largest global commercial real estate service providers, we believe it is our responsibility to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption to protect the environment through continuous improvement of building practices.

星空体育app下载 has a public-facing Environmental Policy that highlights our strategies toward reducing resource consumption, assessing performance through utility data collection and upholding stakeholder interests around environmental performance.
