IT'S ABOUT HEALTH + WELLBEING

The definition of sustainability for the built environment is taking a more holistic approach. Companies are investing more resources into the health and wellbeing of their employees and interior spaces need to support this.

We’re frequently asked how Shaw Contract products contribute to the WELL Building Standard focusing on people and healthy workspaces.

What is the WELL Building Standard?

The WELL Building Standard® measures, certifies, and monitors the performance of building features that impact health and wellbeing. The International WELL Building Institute™ upholds the standard, which operates around ten concepts. WELL v2 is the latest version of the WELL Building Standard™.  Its purpose - to deliver more thoughtful and intentional spaces that enhance human health and wellbeing.
