Global supply chains create opportunities, but they also carry risks. Hidden within these networks, forced labor and worker exploitation continue to be a challenge, especially for migrant workers. Organizations that invest in ethical sourcing, worker protections, and supply chain transparency don’t just mitigate risk, they set the foundation for long-term, sustainable success. Taking action today means building a more responsible and resilient future.

💬“We strive to lead by example, as we have similar sustainability goals to our clients and face the same challenges they do." - Robert Bernard, Chief Sustainability Officer, CBRE CBRE has set a goal to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2040, a commitment that encompasses carbon emissions from its own operations, the properties it manages for clients and its supply chain. To turn ambition into action, its Net Zero Strategy for Corporate Operations outlines a clear strategy to deliver progress. Program-level strategies enable change throughout the global organization. For businesses operating in the built environment industry, whose emissions contribute to around 39% of all greenhouse gases, the journey to net zero must be a priority. Many global built environment firms, including CBRE, have already seized the opportunity to tackle the problem head on, aiming to to deliver net zero by or even before 2050. Our report into progress towards Net Zero in the Built Environment sector provides perspectives from leading companies and experts globally, including case studies such as CBRE's Net Zero journey.

72% of participants say the built environment industry is adapting quickly to implement the measures needed to achieve net zero. However, the overall findings mask significant variations across regions and roles. 94% of respondents in the UAE think the industry is adapting fast, compared with just 50% in China. Our collaboration with Mott MacDonald found that government action is a key differentiating factor. Regional policies worldwide are not clear cut in helping companies on their net zero journey. However, state-backed initiatives and certification schemes have a proven track record in driving sustainable and green building designs. But with only 17% of respondents saying they would progress at a pace dictated by government mandate, it is clear that the industry isn't relying on policies and governments to do all the heavy lifting. Our new report showcases how industry leaders have pivoted into action and embedded Net Zero into their DNA, benefitting the workforce, customers and communities.

The built environment industry has an important part to play in combating climate change. Invariably, participants in our research recognize net zero goals as a key part of their company's strategy. Adam Peacock, Buildings Structures Practice Leader, Aurecon, stated: "It's huge. It's in our blueprint to achieve net zero by 2025, which we're on track with, and we see a much bigger opportunity in the projects we work on." According to our survey, this positivity is consistent across the built environment life cycle, despite regional variation about where decisions on net zero are made, whether at operations or board room level. Implementation, however, is another matter. "Many organizations have made public commitments to net zero but don't have an actionable plan that will get them to their goals." says Marcella Thompson, Senior Vice President of Environmental Sustainability, Corporate Responsibility at CBRE. "The starting point is to commit to the net zero target and create a strategic road map that captures the scale of the project and prioritizes action in 'bite-sized chunks."
