CBRE Group, Inc. announces that it has been recognized as the 4th outsourcing services provider across all industries, and the highest-ranked real estate services company, according to the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals’ (IAOP) Global Outsourcing 100. CBRE is the first real estate services firm to break into the elite top 5 on IAOP’s list. The firm improved its ranking from 6th in 2011.
”Every day, in markets around the world, our outsourcing professionals work hard to help clients maximise the efficiency of their real estate and develop smart solutions to their occupancy challenges,” said Brett White, chief executive officer of CBRE. “Our strong and improving performance on IAOP’s annual ranking is testimony to their success in delivering consistently excellent service, and in setting CBRE apart from all other commercial real estate services firms.”
The Global Outsourcing 100 rankings are determined by an independent panel of judges based on size and growth rate, customer references, demonstrated competencies, and management capabilities. The IAOP panel cited CBRE’s particular strengths in customer references, third party awards and recognitions, employee management and executive leadership. Earlier this year, IAOP and the Information Services Group (ISG) also honored CBRE for its leadership in corporate responsibility, with the first IAOP/ISG Global Outsourcing Social Responsibility Impact Award.
“CBRE exemplifies what excellence in outsourcing is all about,” said Michael Corbett, Chairman of IAOP’s Strategic Advisory Board. “Long gone are the days when outsourcing was about cutting costs. In today’s world it’s all about ever-more innovative customer solutions, building sustainable value, and using technology to partner across organizations in ways never before possible.”
