‘As the pandemic and climate change continue

environmental protection, equality, and
we took important steps to deepen our commitment to
environment, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives.
We released Colliers’ first-ever Impact Report and
Elevate the Bult Environment, our new strategic
framework designed to embed ESG best practices
across the organization.
We proudly committed to setting
a science-based target through the
Science Based Targets initiative’s
(SBTi) Business Ambition for 1.5°C
program as well as achieving Net
Zero for our own operations by 2030.
In addition, as a leading diversified professional
services and investment management firm, Colliers.
will develop and deliver a Net Zero program to
help building owners, investors, and occupiers
reduce or eliminate their building-related emissions.
We welcomed Sean Drygas as Global Lead, Impact
& ESG to partner with our regional teams to set and
work toward meeting additional targets, which will
be published in the 2021 Impact Report.
We also continue to prioritize investments in technology that
enable our people to provide the best service, expertise, and
advice to our clients,
In 2021, we formalized a Global Innovation team to bring our
proven, disciplined investment approach to technology and
ide
y scalable solutions that address high-priority business
needs. Our suite of solutions, technology partnerships, and
ongoing work with Colliers Proptech Accelerator companies
= sore of which have shown strong growth, are just a few
‘examples of our strategy in action.
As one of the top global players in real estate and real
assets, with a highly respected global brand and platform,
we continue to “own the blue” and fortify our market
leadership. The launch of our updated brand visual identity,
last year further propelled our industry leadership and drove
consistency and collaboration across borders.
Finally, we increased our semi-annual dividend for the
first time since 2016 to reflect the confidence we have in
the future of our business, our strong cash flows, and our
growing proportion of recurring revenue streams.Colliers is better
