As landlords and commercial tenants develop, implement and manage healthy building efforts, they are finding that recognized standards, such as WELL and Fitwel, are helping to enable an effective framework and leading practices in the ownership, occupancy and management of their physical environments.
A sustainable and healthy building focuses on increasing the efficient use of resources — energy, water and materials — while enhancing positive building impacts on human health and the environment. Building owners and occupiers that are taking a proactive approach in furthering these efforts are not only building resilience now but also preparing themselves for what’s next and beyond.
Summary
As we move through and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic, the health, safety and well-being of employees, consumers and tenants are business imperatives integral to every company’s real estate-related environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategies.m.
