Los Angeles, CA – March 26, 2013 – CBRE Group, Inc. (CBRE) announced today that 3.5 million tenants in more than 665 million square feet of commercial property it manages for clients participated in WWF’s Earth Hour 2013 globally.

Considered the largest environmental event in history, Earth Hour 2013 took place from 8:30-9:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 23, in a symbolic and unified call for action to reduce the impact of climate change. Hundreds of millions of people located in more than 150 countries switched off non-essential lights for one hour, including CBRE managed properties in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East & Africa, and Asia Pacific. CBRE has supported Earth Hour since its 2007 inception.

“As the world’s largest manager of commercial space and with more than 37,000 employees globally, CBRE is uniquely positioned to support Earth Hour in its effort to drive sustainable behavior,” said Bob Sulentic, CBRE President and CEO. “Our involvement in Earth Hour reinforces our environmental sustainability commitment and demonstrates that our clients, employees and tenants in our managed properties stand united with people across the globe in climate change concern.”

“All of CBRE’s 15 Japan offices proudly participated in the firm’s Earth Hour activities this year,” said Ben Duncan, president and CEO of CBRE’s operations in Japan. “In addition, 35 buildings under CBRE’s management throughout Japan powered down their facilities in doing their part to support and promote a sustainable future.”

CBRE offers a wide range of sustainability initiatives under its Environmental Sustainability program, which includes global commitments in 11 key areas of environmentally sound performance, including resource management, occupancy, communications and training, public policy and procurement. The program provides best practices and initiatives that strengthen CBRE’s own environmental commitment, reflect the best environmental practices in our clients’ properties, and provide vital training and education to CBRE professionals. In 2012, CBRE launched the Real Green Research Challenge, a $1 million sustainability research fund that will announce successful partners next month.

Nearly 500 CBRE professionals globally have earned LEED® Professional Credentials and CBRE currently manages more than 200 buildings certified under the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED for Existing Buildings rating system, the internationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high-performance green buildings.
