Citing the company's commitment to lead the real estate industry on environmental sustainability and energy efficiency, the Ceres board of directors has approved Jones Lang LaSalle, a financial and professional services firm specializing in real estate services and investment management, as a Ceres network company.
Jones Lang LaSalle notes that it is the first real estate sector firm among more than 70 companies to join Ceres, a coalition of investors, environmental groups and public interest organizations working with companies to address sustainability challenges.
Earlier this year, Jones Lang LaSalle released its first sustainability report, as well as a Global Sustainability Commitment that includes high-level targets and goals for increasing best practices for new building construction, improving building energy consumption, increasing employee sustainability training and education, leveraging supply-chain power procurement and measuring carbon emissions.
