Colliers releases first Global Impact Report

Colliers has published its first annual Global Impact Report, highlighting its commitment to embedding environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) best practices across the organization. In the coming months, Colliers will conduct a materiality assessment to understand the firm’s greatest opportunities to effect positive change and establish a comprehensive strategy with measurable targets.

“In 2020, we saw the world rally around important themes like diversity, health and the environment that are shaping how we operate,” said Jay Hennick, Global Chairman and CEO of Colliers. “This backdrop reaffirms that, as leaders in our industry, building a better future for our business, people, clients and communities has never been more important. The 2020 Global Impact Report is a great first step in that direction and we are excited to carry this momentum into the development of a thoughtful and comprehensive ESG strategy this year.”

“ESG is the blueprint to doing what’s right, a core value at Colliers,” continued Becky Finley, Global Chief Brand & People Officer. “In developing this report, it was humbling to see so many ESG initiatives already in action in our operations around the world. While we are pleased with our progress, we are eager to unify our efforts and create a globally aligned, measurable strategy with specific, tangible commitments that will allow us to deliver transformative change to our clients, people and communities.”
