LEED and WELL certifications serve as benchmarks for evaluating these dimensions. LEED focuses on a building’s environmental performance—from energy efficiency to the materials used in its construction. WELL, on the other hand, emphasizes human well-being, considering factors such as air quality, natural light, acoustic and thermal comfort, and even access to spaces that encourage healthy habits. Increasingly, companies view these certifications as the starting point for decision-making.
Even properties not originally designed with these standards in mind can be adapted. Some improvements are simple and affordable—like switching to LED lighting or installing motion sensors—while others require more time and investment. In every case, the key is to measure, adjust, and measure again to achieve more efficient performance aligned with a sustainable vision.
Sustainable management is also reflected in other decisions: from recycling policies to the inclusion of spaces that foster equity, movement, and team connection. All of these elements help create healthier, more responsible workplaces that resonate with each organization’s values.
At Cushman & Wakefield, we work alongside companies, owners, and investors to drive this change. Our goal is to deliver solutions that connect performance, well-being, and positive impact, with a vision that balances efficiency and the future.
