The global commercial real estate services firm CB Richard Ellis ( a Fortune 500 company) occupies, owns, and operates several LEED certified buildings. In addition, I know that CBRE has committed to "greening" (i.e. retrofitting buildings to achieve LEED-EB/LEED-CI etc) a large percentage of the properties that it manages. These initiatives are part of a larger commitment by the company to be entirely carbon neutral by 2010.
