The Challenge
This clearance took place in 2019 and we were tasked with the ethical clearance of 5,000 seating positions over four separate sites our partner CBRE Group. They commisioned this particular project on behalf of their client, IBM.
CBRE are commited to being a socially responsible real estate services company. They acknowledge a responsibility of supporting and adding value to the communities where they live and work, as well as recognising their opportunity to minimize the environmental impact of real estate industries.
Therefore, they were looking for a socially conscious clearance provider to deliver this project, which demonstrates their commitment to their CSR policies.
