At Cresa Global, we prioritize robust onboarding practices for ourselves and our clients, as leaders in the occupier real estate advisory services industry. Emphasizing Environmental Sustainability and Social Governance (ESG) practices as a standard practice, we navigate the return to the workplace suggesting the latest in new workplace standards which are likely to be the new norm. Collaborating with clients, industry leaders, and colleagues, we offer comprehensive solutions that align with these standards from health & safety, wellness, sustainability, and meeting corporate #ESG guidelines. These efforts involve deeper discussions with occupier stakeholders, focusing on day-to-day operations, municipal compliance, and regulatory requirements to create an environment for achieving the proper work-life balance standards within the workplace.   Our local and national team members stay on top of industry standards, integrating them into the organizational mission statements through our Smart Building Solutions platform. While partnering with respected firms, we provide insight and adaptations to establish a healthier, more productive work environment. We advise on space programming modifications and infrastructure systems to meet ESG and sustainability goals, leveraging various technology services while remaining focused on costs and long-term platforms for operational consistency.    Our practices extend to amenities within and around buildings, including Health and Wellness standards, transportation, work-life, and safety. We advocate for establishing a coordinated decarbonization and sustainable “playbook,” in partnership with each landlord/tenant relationship, each of whom should be actively participating in meeting the regulatory standard initiatives to strengthen local law and ESG policies in major cities and suburban areas.   As stewards of the environment and professionals in the real estate community, we are committed to advising, implementing, and participating in meeting the regulatory standards & initiatives to achieve such goals. We invite you to engage in these conversations with us, leveraging our global leadership and expertise to enhance your company's workplace goals.

Launching our new vision and values Our Chief Executive, Wayne Gales, explains why we have chosen to refresh and relaunch our Vision and Values. "April 2024 marks the start of our corporate plan, renewing and building upon our commitment to put customers at the heart of everything we do and build back fairer in our communities. We review our vision and values yearly, discussing if they remain fit for purpose and relevant to where we are as an organisation. Twelve months ago, we did just that, and this time around we felt the vision and values didn’t quite fit with the Trust anymore. Our discussions lead us to talking about the seismic shifts the world has experienced over the past few years and how the vision and values fitted in the new world we operate in. So much has changed, our operating environment is the most challenging we have ever known, we have had a lot of colleagues join us, and our customers are changing and experiencing more challenges than ever. Taking everything into account, we started to feel perhaps it was time to reevaluate our existing vision and values and develop a new set that authentically reflected the growing purpose behind all that we do every day to support our communities, customers and colleagues. Together with Board, colleagues and involved customers we formulated a proposed new vision and set of values. So it’s time to introduce our new vision: Working together to provide quality homes, places, and services, making a positive impact for people. Our new set of values, we feel are more attainable and relevant to Weaver Vale as we are now. Compassionate Accountable Respectful Exceptional You’ll notice CARE is also there… because that’s at the heart of our culture. Our five corporate strategies outline how we will achieve our vision: • Our Customers • Our Homes and Places • Our People • Our Money • Our Environment Our vision and values are more than talking points, they underpin everything we do, day in, day out and this month see’s the start of our journey to embed them into our daily work and open up colleague conversations and experiences, to embed and engage."
