CBRE partners: Digital
transformation and data led insights
Back in 2024 we appointed CBRE as our new
facilities management partner. Through this

enhanced analytics, Kao Data can now harness
more effective trend analysis, faster decision
making, and proactive risk management across
the estate. This includes harnessing CBREmanaged e-logbooks to better track progress.

At Kao Data, we know that we have both
an obligation and an opportunity to make
our company as diverse and inclusive as
possible. Diverse opinions lead to better
ideas, more robust decision making and
faster innovation. By backing local talent,
we also assure our reputation as a socially
conscious employer, creating an innovation
and impact 昀氀ywheel.
Governance
Kao Data utilises several DE&I metrics to
measure our progress on levelling up our
business and communities, with 36.4% of
our new hires being female in 2025-26.
We have empowered even more young
women to build tech careers through our
trailblazing Critical Careers: Women in
Digital Infrastructure programme. We have
also reached more young and diverse talent
in 2025-26 through The Kao Academy and
through our other strategic impact partners.
We are also aiming to work directly with
local residents near our new site in Park
Royal by launching a digital inclusion and
AI training hub which will provide guidance
and resources to local residents that are
feeling marginalised by AI.
