The following outlines sustainability initiatives CBRE has put in place during the CoreNet Global North America Summit, related to our presence as a Sponsor and as an exhibitor. 

Initiative #1: Green Space

  • CBRE partnered with an agency to design a booth made exclusively from sustainable materials, including custom elements made from FSC certified timber and finished using low VOC paints and PVC free graphics.
  • We have removed flooring from the booth and will instead clean and use the venue floor, avoiding single-use floor options.
  • 92% of the booth is being reused from previous CBRE activations (e.g., banner frame,planters, reception desk)
  • We are minimizing shipping and transport impact, using local materials to reduce transportation emissions.
  • The footprint of the booth will be measured and offset using gold standard carbon credits after the event.
  • We are working with a local vendor to source food and beverage during our networking opportunities.

Initiative #2: People and Travel

  • We request that all CBRE team members bring a reusable water bottle to the CoreNet Summit, to reduce single-use plastics.
  • For travel, carbon-efficient flight options and ride-sharing are encouraged.
  • CoreNet’s lodging option allows the CBRE team to walk to ancillary Summit events, including our CBRE-hosted client reception.
  • We are partnering with a local vendor to install all elements of the expo booth, reducing the need for additional travel and shipping impact.

Initiative #3: Less Waste and Digital Signage

  • CBRE is committed to reducing paper waste. To achieve this, digital displays will be installed, replacing paper brochures. Digital signage also allows attendees a more seamless experience to explore research, capabilities, and our solutions.
  • All event communications are managed digitally to avoid print and paper waste.
