Board Oversight 

Board Role

The Board of Directors takes an active role in the oversight of the company’s corporate social responsibility efforts and disclosure.  We have chosen not to establish a separate committee for this purpose, which results in the entire Board being involved and engaged. Jones Lang LaSalle’s Chief Operating and Financial Officer serves as liaison to the Board with respect to sustainability and energy management matters. This partnership allows for open communication and regular reports on the company's efforts, both with respect to our own conservation measures and the services we provide to clients. The Board has assigned CSR reporting responsibilities to the company’s Corporate Secretary.

Global Executive Committee

Jones Lang LaSalle’s Global Executive Committee (GEC) is chaired by our Chief Executive Officer and is our senior-most internal management committee.  The other members of the GEC are the company’s Chief Operating and Financial Officer, as well as the Chief Executive Officers of each of the company’s four principal operating segments. The GEC meets at least twice annually as a group with the Board of Directors. The GEC regularly discusses our Energy and Sustainability Services business from a management perspective and meets with the Chairman of that business and other colleagues within the business for updates.  The Corporate Secretary updates the GEC periodically on the company’s CSR reporting.

Board Training and Updates on Emerging Trends

The Chairman of the company’s Energy and Sustainability Services business has met regularly with the Board to provide training regarding various energy and environmental topics, including information about government programs and pending legislation. The company intends to provide continuing education with respect to emerging sustainability issues and initiatives.
