CBRE Deploys Electronic Invoicing Nationwide

CBRE K.K. (Japan Headquarters: Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) will be moving to electronic invoices for tenants of properties managed by CBRE Property Management.

Currently, against the backdrop of the government’s 2050 objective to achieve carbon neutrality, there is a growing number of major Japanese companies adding ‘zero carbon’ to their business targets. To contribute to this initiative, CBRE has launched a service that will allow tenants to check and download their billing information online, replacing paper invoices that used to be mailed. This electronic system will therefore reduce paper usage and carbon footprint, and also offer greater convenience and efficiency for tenants.

In sum, the objectives of CBRE’s invoice digitization are:

• Paper resource conservation
• To send billing information to tenants faster → Also in response to reduced postal office services (suspension of Saturday standard mail delivery, discontinuation of next-day delivery, and reduced standard mail delivery days).

Deployment of the electronic invoicing

Start from	November 1, 2021
Property Categories	Office, retail, logistics, hotel, data center, R&D, residential
Property Areas	47 prefectures nationwide

Manabu Wake, Head of CBRE Property Management Japan said, "We have been slowly rolling out this initiative since November 2021. We are excited to finally launch the full-scale operations of this electronic billing system for the properties we manage. From the perspective of property management, we will continue to develop and promote efforts toward the realization of a decarbonized society.”

CBRE as a whole is committed to creating a sustainable future for all. Our position gives us an opportunity to help reduce carbon emissions through our own operations, services for our investor and occupier clients, and throughout our entire value chain.
