Atlanta, August 30, 2024 – Parmenter Realty Partners announced today that it has been awarded renewal of its WELL Health-Safety Rating for Facility and Operations Management by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI). The prestigious distinction affirms that [company name] has maintained the requirements of the WELL Health-Safety Rating, which addresses consistent air and water quality management, cleaning and sanitization procedures, emergency preparedness programs, access to health service resources, and stakeholder engagement and communications.

The WELL Health-Safety Rating is an evidence-based, third-party verified rating for all new and existing building and space types focusing on operational policies, maintenance protocols, stakeholder engagement and emergency plans to address the current public health crisis and broader health and safety-related issues into the future. Designed to empower owners and operators across large and small businesses alike to take the necessary steps in order to prioritize the health and safety of their staff, visitors and stakeholders, the WELL Health-Safety Rating can help instill confidence in those who come through the building as well as the broader community.
Renewal is a crucial step in any organization’s WELL Health-Safety Rating journey. It verifies that a project that had previously been awarded the rating has actively sustained the distinction, which must be validated annually to be maintained.

“We are proud to have once again achieved the WELL Health-Safety Rating for our entire office portfolio,” said Michael Holmes, Chief Operating Officer. “As an original participant in the program we believe that this third-party certification validates the extensive policies and procedures put in place to ensure a healthy environment for our tenants, employees, and visitors.”

In order to achieve renewal of the WELL Health-Safety Rating, properties throughout the portfolio have implemented features such as enhanced ventilation and sanitation protocols.

The WELL Health-Safety Rating provides a centralized source to validate efforts made by owners and operators. It leverages insights drawn from the Task Force on COVID-19, in addition to guidance on the spread of COVID-19 and other respiratory infections developed by the World Health Organization (WHO), U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), global disease control and prevention centers and emergency management agencies, as well as recognized standard-making associations such as ASTM International and ASHRAE, and leading academic and research institutions, as well as core principles already established by IWBI’s WELL Building Standard, the premier framework for advancing health in buildings and spaces of all kinds.
