ESG

Our ambition is to ensure carbon neutrality, promote solutions that support the delivery of CBRE and our clients' ESG goals and also recognise the importance of a diverse and socially impactful supply chain. 

For the first time we will be working to deliver a carbon neutral event. We are encouraging all suppliers to closely consider the environmental and social impact of their exhibition stand and any additional materials and equipment they choose to bring. We will also be working with one of our Social Enterprise partners to offset any the remaining carbon generated on the day, both related to the building and also attendee travel.

We’re transforming our procurement practices to ensure more of our billion-pound budget is used to drive economic growth and impact in underrepresented communities in the UK. We’re also using our position in the market to build awareness of the importance and benefits of an inclusive supply chain in the wider B2B environment. Over 16 of our diverse suppliers will be showcasing their businesses at our event this year.

As a founding member of the Social Enterprise UK’s Buy Social Corporate Challenge, we are committed to working with Social Enterprises that invest their profits in environmental and social missions. A number of our Social Enterprise partners are supporting us in delivering this event.

We are working with our Catering partner to ensure the food and drink offered throughout the event, is low carbon, locally sourced wherever possible and served on recyclable products - there will be no single use plastics. We will also be incorporating our Social Enterprise partners as part of our catering solution. Plan Zhero will be supporting us to redirect any food waste to local charities.
