Governance

Overview

Rigorous governance ensures that we always serve our clients, shareholders, and employees with the utmost integrity.

Ethics and Compliance

We conduct business the right way every day by embodying our RISE values:

• RESPECT: We act with consideration for diverse perspectives and share information openly to inspire trust and encourage collaboration.
• INTEGRITY: No individual, deal or client is more important than our commitment to our company and what we stand for.
• SERVICE: We approach challenges with enthusiasm and diligence, building long-term relationships by connecting the right people, capital and opportunities.
• EXCELLENCE: We focus relentlessly on creating winning outcomes for our clients, employees and shareholders.

These values guide everything we do. They are the foundation of our Standards of Business Conduct and our program and approach to ethics and compliance at CBRE.
