Global Awards Submission

One idea could change the world—or corporate real estate as we know it. Could that idea be yours? We’re looking for disruptive, innovative projects—those that up-end business as usual and enable corporate real estate (CRE) professionals to meet ever-changing business dynamics and economic conditions head-on.

How has your CRE organization delivered new and innovative processes, approaches, tools, or technologies? How has a project contributed to fueling human connection and driving corporate evolution through the built environment?

If your project connects with people-centric real estate decision-making across all the domains of the profession, including portfolio management and optimization, location strategy, risk management, workplace design, service delivery, employee experience, FM, ESG, and DEI, we especially want to hear from you.

Outcome:

  • Describe the outcome and impact on reaching your objectives.
For Sustainable Leadership, the judges want to see evidence of quantifiable metrics (energy, water reduction, etc.), and how this was externally verified. How is the project or program being monitored? What is the reporting cycle (e.g. quarterly, annually)?

  • Describe best practices as a result of this initiative.

Focus comments on why your project is innovative and why it is significant.
