ESRT is among the first to renew WELL
Health-Safety Rating for the third time
International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) – the global
authority on healthy buildings, organizations and communities – and
Empire State Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: ESRT) announced today that
the New York-based real estate company is among the first
commercial office and multifamily portfolios in the U.S. to achieve
the WELL Equity Rating through the IWBI’s WELL at scale pathway.
Additionally, ESRT received the 2023 IWBI Health-Safety Leadership
Award for its prioritization of occupant health and well-being
through industry-leading indoor environmental quality measures and
achievement of the WELL Health-Safety Rating across 100% of its
portfolio in each year of participation since 2020.
“Our continued leadership and long-term commitments to the
wellness and health equity of our tenants and employees is
celebrated through our consistent achievements within the IWBI’s
WELL at scale program,” said ESRT’s Chairman and CEO Tony Malkin.
“Our achievement of the inaugural WELL Equity Rating is a
reflection of our accountability and strides in diversity, equity,
and inclusion (DEI) within our corporate culture.”
Throughout 2023, ESRT focused on employee health and well-being
and promoted an inclusive culture through competitive benefits,
employee engagement and volunteerism, and industry-leading
practices in sustainability and indoor environmental quality. ESRT
was the first commercial real estate portfolio in the Americas to
achieve the WELL Health-Safety Rating in 2020 and among the first
to commit to WELL at scale and inaugural WELL Equity Rating in
2022.
“Leading organizations that prioritize the health and well-being
of their employees and tenants are not only helping cultivate a
safer, healthier and more productive workforce, but also experience
higher occupancy and retention," said Rachel Hodgdon, president and
CEO, IWBI. “We are excited to celebrate Empire State Realty Trust
for its steadfast commitment to people-first places. Not only has
it achieved the WELL Health-Safety Rating for the third year in a
row, but it has also achieved the WELL Equity Rating across its
entire portfolio. We commend ESRT for this outstanding leadership
milestone.”
The WELL Health-Safety Rating is an evidence-based, third-party
verification for all new and existing buildings that focuses on
operational excellence and long-term resilience through air and
water quality, cleaning procedures, emergency preparedness, health
resources and stakeholder engagement. The WELL Equity Rating is a
roadmap designed to help organizations act on their diversity,
equity, inclusion and accessibility goals, and improve company
culture and employee health. ESRT transparently shares targets,
practices, and progress in sustainability and DEI through its
annual Sustainability Report.
