The certification, awarded by the International Well Building Institute of New York, is issued based on criteria developed by a team of 600 scientists, business leaders, medical professionals, architects, designers, government officials, and real estate and construction specialists. The main purpose of this certification is to verify that facilities are user-friendly and concerned with users' well-being, based on the latest technological solutions. It also takes into account "soft criteria" such as enhancing the quality of life and work, promoting healthy practices and initiatives to build an active and cooperative resident community.

The certification criteria include the following categories: cleanliness and safety of work spaces and common areas, occupant safety and emergency preparedness standards, availability of healthcare, high air and water quality, communication (both internal, aimed at employees, and external, aimed at stakeholders), and innovation.

 

Olivii Center: a global standard for well-being and safety

 

WELL HSR certification for the entire Olivia Centre sends a clear message to current and future residents: "If you work at Olivia, you can be sure that the environment you are in meets the world's most stringent standards," says Konrad Danecki of Olivia Centre's investor supervision.

For those looking for a work environment that cares about employees, promotes activity, health and collaboration, while providing security, stability of operation and development, and supporting residents in their initiatives, Olivia Centre is a place that meets all these expectations.

Among the initiatives evidencing the utmost concern for the comfort, satisfaction, health and safety of residents at Olivia Centre are numerous interest clubs, sports sections, exhibitions of work done by residents, and a year-round exotic garden with 4,000 plants available to the public. It is worth noting the uniqueness of such initiatives as the Olivia Centre Choir, which has recorded its first album and has already begun concerts in various concert halls.

 

Innovative technologies and safety at the highest level

 

Of the technical solutions implemented at Olivia, one that stands out is the ion air purification technology, which was previously used at prestigious facilities such as the White House and the Presidential Palace in Abu Dhabi. This technology, along with increased levels of air filtration and the installation of Volatile Organic Compounds and Particulate Matter (PM) pollution sensors, ensures that the center's surfaces are continuously cleansed of viruses, bacteria and other pathogens.

"Once again, we are finding that the commitment to the well-being of our center's employees is yielding tangible results," - says Boguslaw Wieczorek, plenipotentiary of the Olivia Centre management board. The obtained result is a signal to employees that they can feel safe in Olivia, and to potential customers - that by choosing Olivia, they can count on added values conducive to the development of their business.

 

Results and significance of WELL HSR certification

 

The WELL HSR certification, earned at such a high level, is not only an appreciation of Olivia's efforts, but also a clear signal to business that Olivia is a top business center in which to do business. The implementation of appropriate procedures and measures made it possible to obtain the WELL Health-Safety Rating badge. It is worth noting, however, that this is a badge that can be obtained after achieving 15 points from a list of requirements. Olivia Centre scored as high as 25 points for each building, which proves that the Olivia team makes every effort to ensure that their buildings and spaces promote the comfort, well-being, health and safety of users, says Agata Kwapisiewicz, ESG Officer.
