Climate Change Strategy Details
To address its direct operational footprint CBRE will:
1. Identify and measure the carbon footprint of its operations and facilities and will set achievable targets to reduce it each year. It aims to be carbon neutral by 2010 through targeted in-house carbon footprint reductions, indirect emission reduction commitments from its suppliers and, if necessary thereafter, carbon offsets.
2. Establish minimum environmental standards for the relocation or refurbishment of its facilities based upon current programs such as LEED, BREEAM and/or Green Star.
