advancing the health and well-being of people is a powerful reason to become well certified - but the benefits don’t end there.
well will help any organization:
prioritize the health and well-being of employees
align real estate, operations, human resources and the c-suite under a shared vision for health
enhance brand equity through market leadership
validate health and well-being commitments through rigorous third-party review and onsite testing
create a baseline for esg reporting and benchmarking
discover why well is the leading global work for scaling health across your organization.
every well certified space has undergone comprehensive third-party review. this means an organization cannot just say they did something - they have to show proof of their efforts and meet onsite testing standards. this additional verification helps people feel safer and more confident that evidence-based strategies are not only in place, but are monitored on an ongoing basis.
rome wasn’t built in a day and the well movement didn’t happen overnight. we’ve spent years working to advance human health and well-being through science. we’ve channeled all that we have learned into an adaptable and equitable rating system, which continues to be anchored by the latest scientific research and industry best practices. we’ve done the work to compile the research, so organizations can focus on what matters most - their people.
to recognize the complementary nature between human health and environmental sustainability, we've developed crosswalks that align well certification with other green building rating systems including breeam, green star, leed, nabers, and reset. crosswalks make it easy to integrate well certification into existing sustainability efforts.
organizations that invest in creating a culture of health and resilience are better positioned to handle unexpected challenges and global events. the investment community is increasingly incorporating new data and non-traditional financial indicators—like esg (environmental, social and governance) factors—into their analyses to gain an understanding of a company’s source of risk and return.
as a result, human health is gaining recognition as being material to a business’ bottom line. well certification provides the detailed metrics and measurements needed to confidently report on esg factors, giving organizations a competitive advantage with investors and stakeholders.
