During the past years, businesses have experienced a series of once-in-a-generation challenges, forcing them to re-evaluate how they operate.

Survey participants receive a spreadsheet with full data, providing for an in-depth look and suitable for benchmarking DEI policies and achievements against peers.
The Global Real Estate DEI Survey Volume III represents 296,902 full-time real estate employees, $1.98 trillion of assets under management, and a cross-section of the commercial real estate industry in terms of size, region and business classification.
The Survey brings together participation from 216 unique organizations which provided 236 submissions detailing their DEI practices in North America (79.2% of respondents), Europe (11.9%) and Asia-Pacific (8.9%). Data was collected between July 17 and September 29, 2023.
