DIME Denver. 3 | JLL 2018 Annual Report From workshop to workplace Solving a potential $80 billion productivity problem with a lifesaving device Safety standards from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) require engineers to shut down an entire electrical panel, even for simple modifications. While this protects workers from potentially dangerous shocks, downtime is disruptive and costly. To maintain uptime, companies cut corners and accidents happen — resulting in as many as 500 deaths per year. It was there that Engineering Manager Dave Crowell found inspiration. “I wanted to bridge the gap between staying productive and staying safe,” he said. In his own garage, Dave designed a unique, lifesaving electrical panel and JLL’s first engineering patent. The see-through device is made up of plugs that can be removed individually to provide access to each section of the breaker. The lack of downtime keeps clients happy, and the attention to safety keeps OSHA happy. “We knew it was a special idea,” said Gabriela Cleveland, Chief Counsel, Technology and Intellectual Capital at JLL. “The concept of the electric panel was so brilliant yet so simple and innovative that we thought, ‘Why not?’” she said. “I still get goose bumps talking about this stuff. JLL’s dedication to safety truly makes us stand out,” Dave said. Click here to watch Dave explain what a safe workplace means to him. JLL 2018 Annual Report | 4 Sustainable Shanghai World’s first double platinum in building standards We’re focused on what is good for business and for a sustainable future. This approach leads to responsible investment decisions for healthier, safer, more engaged people, and increased value for all of our stakeholders — Building a Better Tomorrow everywhere we can. Our Shanghai office at HKRI Taikoo Hui has recently been awarded the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum certification in the Interior Design and Construction (ID+C) category, setting a record high score in the process. This is the first project in the world to achieve platinum ratings for both LEED v4 and WELL v1, the highest standards in current operation. Anthony Couse, CEO, JLL Asia Pacific, says, “This shows that we walk the talk when it comes to sustainability. It demonstrates our commitment to creating a sustainable workplace that is healthy and productive for our clients and our people, and puts human experience at its heart.” Our Shanghai office includes smart systems such as dimmable LED lighting with daylight and occupancy sensors, and Energy Star-rated appliances to ensure energy efficiency. And even though the office is more than 25% larger than our previous address, electricity consumption has been reduced by 41%. We also purchased Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), a growing trend in China’s drive toward green energy, offsetting 50% of the office’s greenhouse emissions for the next five years. Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), the LEED standard aims to promote environmental responsibility and efficient use of resources among building operators and owners. 5 | JLL 2018 Annual Report Click here to watch our Shanghai HQ film.

Our clients strongly identify with this culture and with our commitments to a sustainable future and Building a Better Tomorrow.

A business that thrives because of the fantastic colleagues and clients we attract and the rewarding sense of achieving goals together. That’s why we chose Portraits of Ambition as this year’s report theme. And why I begin this letter by paying tribute to my 90,000 colleagues around the world for the impressive achievements recorded in this report and continued unwavering commitment to our culture and values.
