CBRE launches carbon emissions strategic partnership

CBRE has launched a strategic partnership to green its supply chain. Under the deal, CBRE will take a stake in Emitwise, a carbon accounting software provider, which will collect greenhouse gas emissions data from its supply chain and provide carbon accounting capabilities to its suppliers. Emitwise will boost CBRE’s net zero strategy by helping to track and reduce scope 3 emissions in both the company’s and its clients’ supply chains. Robert Bernard, chief sustainability officer at CBRE, said: “We are excited to partner with Emitwise to help our clients reduce their carbon impact and support our efforts to decarbonise our own supply chain.” He added: “Decarbonising supply chains requires breakthroughs in using technology and data in new ways to simplify the challenges of managing complex value chains.” The partnership will allow suppliers to more accurately calculate carbon impacts and learn where to focus their efforts to accelerate decarbonisation. CBRE’s clients will also gain better insight into their value chain at scale by having access to accurate data and high-impact decarbonisation opportunities, the company said.
