Several are also faculty members and actively support training programs, events and meetings to raise awareness of the benefits of WELL Certification. Additionally, as members of the Fitwel® Advisory Council, we also help our clients achieve Fitwel certification, which supports health across a range of wellbeing categories. In 2019, we assisted approximately 80 clients in the U.S. and EMEA in becoming LEED, WELL and/or Fitwel certified.

Applying Our Expertise in Our Own Offices In 2019, we continued to certify Cushman & Wakefield offices to the rigorous WELL Building Standard, reflecting a strong commitment to the health, wellbeing and comfort of our employees. Our Portfolio Services Center Americas office in St. Louis earned the distinction based on seven categories of building performance — Air, Water, Light, Nourishment, Fitness, Comfort and Mind — and achieved a Silver level rating, and our 900 Wilshire Blvd. office in Los Angeles went above and beyond to achieve Gold level by incorporating measures like quarterly water testing. In 2018, Cushman & Wakefield’s Chicago global headquarters and our Atlanta office were awarded WELL certification at the Silver level. Several more of our offices are in the process of pursuing LEED and Fitwel certifications. In Australia, three offices have achieved NABERS certification.
