Supporting Wellness with Fresh produce and fitwel
While our focus is on promoting employee well-being, this initiative also aligns with our healthy building certification services. A healthy home goes beyond indoor air quality – it includes nutrition and access to wholesome food. By making fresh, locally grown produce more accessible, we’re taking a holistic approach to workplace wellness.
Fitwel and community-supported agriculture
Did you know that Fitwel, one of the leading healthy building certification systems, rewards organizations for supporting local agriculture? By offering fresh produce on-site for free or for purchase for tenants and employees to receive their natural nutrition, developers can earn Fitwel points while improving food accessibility for their occupants. Additionally, they can earn Fitwel points by having a fresh produce vendor nearby.
Originally developed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the U.S. General Services Administration, Fitwel is designed to enhance the health and well-being of building occupants. With its evidence-based strategies, Fitwel certification helps organizations create healthier and more productive work environments.
