Energy & Sustainability Integrated Solutions

Energy & Sustainability Integrated Solutions

As demonstrated by our science-based targets, corporate commitments and the amount of real estate we manage on behalf of our clients, we play an out sized role in helping to limit the rise in global temperatures. Facilities management is core to sustainability, and with our mix of on-site teams, subject matter experts and supply chain partners, we improve the efficiency and sustainability of building operations.

CBRE's Science Based Targets

• 68% reduction in global operations scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2035 from 2019 levels

• 79% reduction in emissions per square foot in facilities CBRE manages for occupiers by 2035
• 67% reduction in emissions per square foot in facilities CBRE manages for investors by 2035
• 100% renewable electricity by 2035, including transitioning our vehicle fleet to electric vehicles

Our approach

Our aim is to reduce the total cost of ownership of our clients’ portfolios and their journey to net-zero as a transition programme implemented across the integrated facilities management operating model, requiring strong coordination, collaboration and systems working across the value chain within a robust governance structure.

Our programme

Our methodology brings together talent, capabilities, and experience as a global property occupier, investor and manager to achieve carbon neutrality commitments, improve portfolio resiliency and reduce asset life-cycle costs, while mitigating risk and friction within company operations as these changes are deployed.

Decrease your business risk and total cost of ownership while reducing your carbon emissions

Benefit from a digitally enabled, fully integrated facility management organisation and a decarbonisation approach that is methodical, transparent and auditable at every stage. By combining on-site teams, consultative subject matter experts and leading-edge tools, we deliver data-driven solutions for energy efficiency, carbon neutrality and asset performance.

Benefits of our program

• Decreased asset total cost of ownership (ATCO) and reductions in maintenance, energy, carbon and capital costs by 11-15% over the course of the program.
• Significant reduction in asset downtime and operational risk by boosting asset reliability and condition.
• Levelised, targeted, and prioritised capital spend to maximize investment efficiency.
• Targeted capital planning based on total cost of ownership (maintenance, utility, capital, business risk and carbon emissions) vs. equipment age and condition.
• Equipment-level benchmarking of asset performance demonstrating high costs, opportunities for savings and real estate planning purposes.
• Portfolio decarbonisation acceleration and significant impact to ESG targets and commitments.

Shape and achieve your corporate sustainability commitments

Our sustainability approach translates your commitments into practical workplace solutions that reduce impact, regenerate natural resources and inclusively provide for the future. We offer flexible integration to effectively partner with you at any stage of your path to a sustainable future. We recognize that sustainability is not an off-the-shelf product, and look to identify and mitigate your risk and translate your goals into company-wide strategic solutions and action plans within your core operations. Our methodology addresses emission scopes 1, 2 and 3, as well as water, waste, natural capital, social value, accreditations and compliance, with a mix of dedicated on-site teams and consultative subject matter experts.
