Fitwel Publishes Guide to Measuring 'S' -- Revealing Link Between Healthy Building Strategies and Increased ESG Scores & Value

Retrieved on:

Tuesday, February 7, 2023

NEW YORK, Feb. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Fitwel announced today new insights to support the correlation between implementing health-promoting operational and design strategies and value in real estate, advancing its efforts to quantify ESG from a people-perspective. The announcement comes on the heels of Fitwel's publication of the Guide to Measuring "S", a resource that outlines 5 key areas and metrics for quantifying S in ESG reporting for the real estate industry. The correlation highlights that by using health as the basis to measure and evaluate ESG performance, it is possible to not only increase ESG scores, but also mitigate material risk and increase value at the asset and entity levels – all while improving occupant health.

Key Points:

With global ESG-aligned assets on track to exceed $50 trillion by 2025, third-party healthy building certification systems like Fitwel will increasingly be relied upon for tracking and integrating health-related ESG metrics.
In the real estate sector, the role of ESG considerations has traditionally focused on structural building risk rather than people-centric risk because it is easier to quantify.
Fitwel and its real estate partners see this as a missed opportunity — entities that don't focus on optimizing the health of the occupants' risk undermining investment performance.
The Fitwel Platform integrates asset- and entity-level benchmarking, a streamlined healthy building certification process, and is also currently building out "S" focused ESG data insights for leading global real estate companies.
