CBRE Ireland Awarded Gold for Diversity and Inclusion Excellence

CBRE Ireland is proud to announce that we have achieved Investors in Diversity Gold, the highest accreditation awarded by the Irish Centre for Diversity, which works in partnership with organisations across Ireland at all stages of the Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) journey to transform workplaces so that everyone can thrive. Investors in Diversity (IiD) is Ireland’s premier FREDIE™ (Fairness, Respect, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion & Engagement) accreditation and it supports the journey of continuous progress by providing a structured framework to transform business practices and workplace culture. Notably, CBRE is one of only 37 holders of IiD Gold. This prestigious recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace and celebrates the dedication of our teams in embedding our D&I strategy throughout the organisation. 

At CBRE, we believe that success is built on embracing diversity and nurturing inclusion. Our goal is to ensure that every colleague can thrive and achieve their career ambitions, regardless of gender, sexual identity, cultural, or social background. 

The IiD Gold Mark signifies a significant investment in strengthening our culture, policies, and processes at every level. Led by a dedicated DE&I team, including senior leadership, this achievement builds on our previous bronze and silver accreditations in 2021 and 2023, marking another milestone in our ongoing DE&I journey.

Our progress has been driven by the passion and commitment of our Employee Business Resource Groups (EBRGs), which include: 

• Women’s Network
• Pride Network
• Family Network
• Charity & Community Network
• Wellness Network
• Sustainability Network

These groups foster community, professional development, and innovation, helping us create a workplace that celebrates individuality and promotes belonging.

Myles Clarke, Managing Director, CBRE Ireland, commented: ‘Achieving the Gold Mark is a proud moment for CBRE Ireland. It reflects our commitment to creating an inclusive culture where everyone feels valued and empowered. This recognition is a testament to the hard work of our people and the impact of our EBRGs in driving meaningful change. For CBRE, this achievement is more than an accolade, it’s a reflection of our shared commitment to building a workplace where diversity is celebrated, inclusion is the norm, and every individual feels empowered to succeed. We will continue to lead with purpose and ensure diversity and inclusion remain at the heart of our business.’

Caroline Cummins, Managing Director, Irish Centre for Diversity commented: ‘CBRE’s progress to Investors in Diversity Gold has been impressive. Investors in Diversity Bronze laid firm foundations to build on, Investors in Diversity Silver listened to the voice of all colleagues to ensure that there is a shared sense of belonging, and now they are proud holders of Investors in Diversity Gold. Very well done to everyone at CBRE. We look forward to sharing more of your journey of continuous progress.’
