PwC Dubai’s regional head office has become one of the first offices in the Middle East to be certified WELL Platinum.

PwC is committed to healthy behaviour and as such, its leadership team embraced the introduction of the WELL Building Standard into the design, working in close collaboration with Cundall and Say Studio.

This performance-based system measures, certifies and monitors features of the built environment that directly impact human health and wellbeing and has proven to have a direct correlation to employee performance, happiness and retention. Platinum is the highest possible level of certification and positions the office as an exemplar of a healthy workspace.

“We embarked on a journey to change our way of working and offer a much more inviting, environmentally friendly and collaborative working space in our new, state of the art PwC office in Dubai. Cundall played an instrumental role in this journey, acting as true business partners throughout the design and fit-out of the office. The end result is an office which people love to work in and which supports the wellbeing of our staff” said Sarah French, Head of Office Services and Real Estate, PwC Dubai

Kavita Kumari, Associate Director commented “We are proud to be part of the process and assist PwC Dubai throughout their journey, by providing both engineering and WELL consultancy services. The care they have for their staff reflects in this WELL Platinum certification.”

The office was also the first project in Europe and the Middle East to achieve the WELL Health and Safety rating.
