Colliers (NASDAQ and TSX: CIGI) released its 2021 Global Impact

commitment to deliver resilient buildings, inclusive workplaces,
and spaces that promote health and wellbeing for its professionals,
clients, and communities.
Key 2021 performance highlights include:

green-certified properties under management

green-certified construction managed
- 262 green certifications held by
Colliers professionals

Building on last year’s inaugural report, Colliers took
important steps to create Elevate the Built Environment – a strong
global impact strategy, and firm multi-year goals against the
strategy’s three pillars: the environment, inclusiveness, and
health & wellbeing. The 2021 Global Impact Report also includes
baseline assessments of Colliers’ Scope 1 and 2 emissions and was
produced in accordance with Global Reporting Initiative (GRI),
Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), and Task Force on
Climate-Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) frameworks to ensure
strong governance of Colliers’ ESG programs.
“The world’s major challenges require a bold response from
businesses – and we have an important role to play. Our 2021 Global
Impact Report articulates the ambitious actions we are taking, the
substantial progress we have made on our ESG journey over the last
year, and how we will continue to push ourselves to accelerate
where we can make a difference,” said Jay Hennick, Global Chairman
& CEO. “Doing what’s right is how we operate at Colliers. As we
look to the future, living our purpose – to maximize the potential
of property and real assets – with thoughtful attention to ESG will
positively impact our changing world.”
In 2021, Colliers committed to emissions reductions through the
Science-Based Targets initiative’s (SBTi) Business Ambition for
1.5°C program; achieving net zero for its own operations (Scopes 1
and 2) by 2030; and establishing an advisory framework to help
building owners, investors, and occupiers achieve net zero. Earlier
this year, Colliers announced a goal to have 40% female employees
overall and in manager+ roles in its regional, investment
management, and mortgage businesses by 2025. Additional bold
targets outlined in the 2021 Global Impact Report are:
- Baselining our purchasing from
diverse suppliers in 2022 and set an ambitious goal for 2025.
- Joining WELL Portfolio in 2022 and
achieving WELL Health-Safety certification for all Colliers offices
by 2025.
- Offering WELL, Fitwel or equivalent
certification to all eligible property management and occupier
clients beginning in 2023.
- Establishing Colliers Volunteer
Days, focused on April, to support the environment, inclusiveness,
and health & wellbeing – targeting 15,000 days annually.
“Our strategy and targets are grounded in our belief that the
built environment can make a positive impact on people’s lives. We
are doing more every day to weave ESG into the fabric of our
organization and unify our efforts to make our clients’ workplaces
– and our own – more sustainable, inclusive, and healthy,” said
Sean Drygas, Global Lead, ESG & Impact. “Our priorities are to
grow and scale our sustainability and wellbeing services across our
business lines and geographies, as well as focus on the projects
required to meet our bold targets.”
