Honeywell announced it is working with the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) to deliver a comprehensive suite of WELL solutions at the enterprise scale through its newly awarded WELL Enterprise Provider designation.
As a WELL EP, Honeywell said it will offer its expertise in WELL to help transform buildings to help improve quality of life, along with tailored solutions to support the growing demand for enhanced well-being for employees, customers and communities.
Through the WELL EP programme, Honeywell says it will guide its clients to identify and implement WELL strategies at scale, helping companies meet their larger business objectives in areas such as environmental, social and governance (ESG) reporting, human and social capital management, and workplace strategy and policy.
Honeywell will incorporate WELL into its Healthy Buildings offerings, which include technologies like indoor air quality solutions and safety and security systems, and deploy WELL Accredited Professionals (WELL APs) as in-house experts to provide strategic guidance and support.
“As an industry leader that has long been on the cutting edge of promoting sustainability through building technologies, Honeywell can now integrate advanced WELL strategies and solutions into its services and help customers improve and enhance people’s performance and well-being at scale,” said president and CEO of IWBI, Rachel Hodgdon. “This new designation of WELL EP allows IWBI to work with Honeywell more closely and more efficiently to deliver the many benefits of WELL strategies across real estate portfolios and entire organizations.”
Launched in July 2021, the WELL EP programme was created in collaboration with more than a dozen organizations worldwide, including consulting firms, real estate companies and design and architectural practices.
“We are proud to receive designation as a WELL EP. Helping to create healthier and safer building environments takes a collective effort and commitment, and we’re excited to continue our work with the IWBI team,” said president and chief executive officer, Honeywell Building Technologies, Doug Wright. “The importance of healthy buildings will continue to grow as more companies return to offices and occupants will have higher expectations for the environments in which they spend time.”
Honeywell’s Healthy Buildings Solutions integrate air quality, safety and security technologies along with advanced analytics to help building owners minimize potential risks of contamination and improve business continuity by monitoring both the building environment and building occupants’ behaviors.
