Ethisphere, a global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices, named CBRE as an ethical company for the eighth year in a row. CBRE is one of only four 2021 honorees in the real estate industry.
The group was also recognised in the IAOP’s 2021 Global Outsourcing 100 list, which recognises the world’s best outsourcing service providers and advisors. This is the 15th consecutive year that IAOP has recognized CBRE as a top outsourcing services provider.
Speaking about the 2021 World’s Most Ethical Companies list, Elizabeth Atlee, SVP, Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer at CBRE said: “This award is a testament to our employees around the world who stayed true to CBRE’s RISE values, even as they overcame the challenges of 2020.
“As a professional services firm, we are all about our people, whose integrity and commitment to ethical conduct served us well as we all rallied to support colleagues and communities in need, while continuing to deliver world-class solutions for our clients.”
Companies are evaluated on more than 200 variables related to culture, environmental and social practices, ethics and compliance activities, governance, diversity and initiatives to support a strong value chain. In 2021, 135 honorees were recognized spanning 22 countries and 47 industries.
The 2021 Global Outsourcing 100 is determined through a rigorous scoring methodology that includes a review by an independent panel of IAOP customer members who have extensive experience in selecting outsourcing service providers and advisors for their organizations.
“IAOP recognition is the gold standard for the outsourcing industry,” said Jack Durburg, Global CEO of CBRE’s Global Workplace Solutions (GWS) business. “Our inclusion among these elite service providers for 15 years running is testament to the strength of our global platform and our people’s unwavering commitment to delivering consistently exceptional outcomes for our valued clients.”
"Now, more than ever, outsourcing end-users need to be able to easily identify and select the right company for their outsourcing needs," said Debi Hamill, IAOP CEO. "It is great recognition being named to The Global Outsourcing 100. Given the strong, global competition, CBRE should be proud of achieving excellence in the field."
