Sustainability Statement

At Cantor Fitzgerald, sustainability is a key driver of our engagement with clients and how we conduct business. We provide investment banking services to companies, as well as risk management, research, sales, and trading.

Our commitment to sustainability reflects the responsibility we have to our stakeholders — our clients, our employees, and local communities — to build long-term value. Our ability to do that depends on investing in our people, managing responsibly, and supporting local initiatives.

We run our business with a culture of collective accountability. We hold ourselves to high standards. As a responsible corporate citizen, Cantor Fitzgerald is committed to meeting the highest standards of ethics, integrity, honesty, fairness, and professionalism in every respect, without exception, and at all times.

Achieving our business goals is critical to our success. We also believe the way in which we achieve them is just as important.

Environmental Policy

Introduction

We are focused on the environment and recognize the importance of treating our natural resources with the greatest respect, so that they are available to future generations. We also understand the potential impact of our business dealings on the health of the environment. That is why we encourage sustainable practices, and support strategies to maximize energy efficiency, recycle materials, and limit waste.

Our Commitment

The environment is essential for the prosperity of society, our business, and is the foundation for a sustainable and strong economy. We take seriously our responsibility for environmental stewardship and firmly believe we can create long-term value for our shareholders while serving the long-term interests of our clients through a robust Environmental Policy.

Our Team

Our team is a market leader in the Power, Energy, Infrastructure (PEI) and healthcare sectors. Our unique approach involves combining advisory and capital market expertise within our industry teams. This allows us to deliver tailored, product-agnostic advice to our industry clients and helps ensure they get the best possible results.

Cantor’s proven track record of expert advice is even more valued given the current backdrop of fast-paced, disruptive change. The transition from a carbon-intensive economy to a more sustainable world is one of the biggest structural changes to ever face the energy sector. Our team of Senior Bankers are experts in the industry and well placed to advise our clients on navigating this new environment.

The PEI group remains one of the leading innovators and market leaders in renewables and sustainable infrastructure, where we are a global market leader. We have led some of the most innovative transactions in solar, wind, biofuels, water, energy efficiency, and smart utilities and as such, are a strong ESG partner and an advocate and friend to the environment.

Social

Our Social Responsibility

At Cantor Fitzgerald, we are committed to our people and to the communities we live and work in.

For the people who work for us, we build employee support programs which incentivize and enable our staff to grow both professionally and personally. We want our employees to thrive within our company. This includes providing equity stock awards, and a host of employee benefits.

Crucially, we are committed to driving equal opportunity and greater diversity, both within and without our organization.

Beyond our own business, we have a passionate commitment to community service and charity. Read on to learn how we give back and build better futures.

Never was our commitment to people so clear as on September 11, 2001. The devastating attack on our headquarters at the World Trade Center changed our lives forever. Within days, our CEO, Howard Lutnick, and our surviving employees and affiliates created the Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund to take care of the families of the 658 colleagues and friends and 61 Eurobrokers employees who perished on that day.

Since 2001, our commitment to supporting people who need help the most has not wavered. Every year on September 11th, Cantor and its affiliates, in conjunction with the Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund, commemorate the colleagues and friends we lost on September 11, 2001. This is Charity Day.

On this day, we donate our global daily revenue to the Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund, which distributes these funds to over 150 charities worldwide. We welcome leading lights from the worlds of politics, entertainment, and sports to our trading floors to help us raise as much money as possible.

Our unique way of creating something positive and life-affirming out of tragedy has raised approximately $192 million so far.

Governance

Promoting Sound Governance

Cantor Fitzgerald actively strives towards the highest standards of governance throughout our organization. We consistently assess and refine our processes to ensure our practices meet the ambitious goals and values our business stands for. We believe good governance is essential to our success, and the returns we deliver to our clients, investors, employees, and the wider business community.

Senior management, with the responsibility for overseeing the front- and back-office functions, are responsible for all control-related business issues and management of the issues in their business function. Through monitoring and reporting, the Risk Management department is responsible for ensuring the operational, credit, and market risks are kept in line with risk appetite. For operational risk, this is accomplished by a range of interconnecting risk and control methodologies that are embedded throughout the Company.

As for credit and market risk, this is accomplished by establishing consistent standards, applying those standards in the assessment of counterparties and positions, adhering to delegated authority limits, and monitoring current and potential exposures after the execution of transactions.
