CBRE Named 2014 Power Partner by Duke Energy
December 2, 2014
GREENVILLE, SC – CBRE was awarded the Duke Energy 2014 Power Partner Award, based on its commitment to responsible energy use and focus in creating lasting value in its organization and community it serves.
“At CBRE, we aspire to be recognized as much for our commitment to responsible business as for the quality of our commercial real estate services,” said Steve Smith, Managing Director of South Carolina. “We are committed to integrating responsible and sustainable business practices across our global operations.”
CBRE has enjoyed a strategic partnership with Duke Energy for many years and focuses its attention on the areas where they believe they can make the greatest impact on environmental sustainability.
“When we approach property management for our clients we aim to mitigate the impact of the built environment on climate change,” said Jim Roman, Director of Asset Services. “We leverage our talent, energy and resources to improve the quality of our communities.”
Duke Energy established the Power Partner awards in 1992 to recognize businesses that achieve exemplary results in energy efficiency, sustainability and business growth. The 2014 Power Partner winners will be recognized at individual award ceremonies this winter.
In 2014 CBRE was also recognized by the EPA as a 2014 Energy Star® Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence Award and CBRE’s Doug Webster received the 2014 Energy Leadership Award awarded by the Charlotte Business Journal.
