Global Sustainability
ambition
We’re focused on what is good for business and for a sustainable future. This progressive approach leads to responsible investment decisions with healthier, safer, more engaged people, and increased value for all of our stakeholders - Building a Better Tomorrow everywhere we can.
Building a Better Tomorrow enables us to integrate sustainability into all aspects of our organization, from our growth framework, through all our services and in our core values of teamwork, ethics and excellence.
By driving all our sustainability activities through Building a Better Tomorrow, we aim to deliver global consistency, best practice and direction across our four Pillars of Clients, People, Workplaces and Communities.

Local
implementation
The Building a Better Tomorrow strategy is set at the global level with extensive collaboration with local teams. Each JLL country is at a different stage in their sustainability journey, which is why we have developed a flexible, staged approach to implementation:
JLL’s eight largest countries
- The first to establish governance around Building a Better Tomorrow and deliver against the global targets.
- Draft and execute Building a Better Tomorrow implementation plans.
- Set supporting local goals, as needed.
Other countries
- Encouraged to take same actions as the eight largest countries.
- Will be required to deliver against global targets and formalize Building a Better Tomorrow in the longer term.
