From the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

 

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is both an important cultural value and a strategic priority for our company. The ability of our employees to create value by delivering superior services to our clients drives our business model. To compete successfully and continue to grow, we must attract, retain and motivate the most talented people in our industry.   We believe the best people want to work for socially responsible organizations they trust and respect. We believe that the best clients want to work with such companies. We also believe that, increasingly, investors want to hold the shares of such companies.   This report summarizes recent CSR achievements and current initiatives across our businesses and geographies. It is a work in progress which we believe will inspire additional efforts toward being first in our industry in a changing world: first for our people, first with our clients and shareholders, and first in the communities where we do business.   Our Board of Directors and senior management team support—and hold all of us responsible for achieving—an ambitious CSR agenda. We are committed to distinguishing Jones Lang LaSalle and LaSalle Investment Management as the leaders in corporate social responsibility in the real estate services and investment management industry.     Sincerely,
