CBRE Group makes Investor’s Business Daily's Top 50 list

CBRE Group, Inc. has announced that it has been named to the Investor’s Business Daily (IBD) list of Top 50 Best ESG Companies.

CBRE sits at number 23, the only commercial real estate services firm on the list.

 The IBD Top 50 Best ESG Companies list is comprised of companies with strong environmental, social and governance ratings from MSCI ESG Research and high IBD Composite Ratings, reflecting broad strength in earnings and share-price performance.

“Our people are extremely focused on driving exceptional outcomes for all our stakeholders.  This is fundamental to CBRE’s ongoing success and is being increasingly reflected in our robust performance on independent performance measures like the IBD ratings. We deeply appreciate everything our people do to earn these accolades,” said Bob Sulentic, CBRE’s president and chief executive officer. 

The company has not been without sporadic controversy however, and in 2012 was accused in court of rigging the bidding for a bank branch in Miami.

Earlier this year, CBRE was included in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World).

They were also ranked #15 on Corporate Responsibility Magazine’s list of the 100 Best Corporate Citizens and was recognized as one of the Barron’s 100 Most Sustainable Companies.
