CBRE Group, Inc. (NYSE:CBRE) today announced that it has been named to Fortune’s Most Innovative Companies roster for the second year in a row.

Less than 2% of the companies evaluated are deemed “most innovative” and CBRE is the only commercial real estate services company to receive this recognition.

“We hire talented people and then help them flourish in a culture that encourages creative thinking and company-wide collaboration,” said Vikram Kohli, CBRE’s chief operating officer. “This approach enables innovative solutions that consistently surpass our clients’ expectations.”

Fortune and its research partner Statista score companies on three dimensions: product innovation, process innovation and innovation culture. Product innovation evaluates a company’s products and services, covering aspects such as design, usability and uniqueness, while process innovation looks at a company’s product sourcing and production, marketing, sales and support. Innovation culture primarily reflects the company’s success at fostering creativity and an entrepreneurial spirit.

Drawing from a universe of some 15,000 companies, Fortune evaluated U.S. companies on a 100-point scale to determine the Most Innovative Companies. Scores for innovation culture and process innovation were partly based on a survey of more than 35,000 people. Over 8,000 responses from experts in various fields were key in determining scores for product innovation and process innovation.
