WELL Certificate Gold

Adapting the WELL Building Standard to logistics buildings places a focus on pleasant and healthy work environments. The complex Gold-level certification process takes time and effort. All the WELL preconditions and 40 percent or more of the optimization features have to be met to achieve the Gold-level certification.

Authorized WELL assessors spent three days onsite to evaluate the building while the facility was in full operation. This stringent performance-based assessment is what makes the IWBI certification a true seal of quality.

Project Overview

In May 2018, Prologis delivered DC5, a 25,803 square meter build-to-suit distribution facility for Pantos Logistics in Tilburg, Netherlands. The facility achieved WELL Certified™ Gold in May 2019. By creating a pleasant and healthy work environment, we provided Pantos with a unique added value that takes into account its employees—the company’s most important resource.

Location

Prologis Park Tilburg is located in Southern Netherlands, one of the fastest-growing logistics markets in the Netherlands because of its proximity to key logistics hubs in Antwerp and Rotterdam. The park comprises 271,174 square meters.

Use by Pantos

The facility is leased to Pantos Logistics, a long-term Prologis customer. Because of the leading Korean logistics provider’s growth across a number of areas, including warehousing, the company required additional capacity in the Netherlands. Pantos moved into the facility in May 2018.

Sustainability

Whereas building rating systems such as BREEAM assess the environmental performance of buildings, the WELL Building Standard focuses on building design and management that enhances employee health and quality of life in the work environment. Incorporating health and well-being into building design is an example of Prologis’ long-term focus and innovative approach to environmental stewardship, social responsibility and governance—and of how these factors are integrated fully into our business strategy.

Well-Being

Focusing on the well-being of employees inside warehouses aligns with our sustainability and business objectives, as well as our ambitions to raise the standards for logistics buildings.

Shifting toward a more human-centric approach leads to insights that give Prologis buildings an extra competitive edge.

What is the WELL Building Standard?

The WELL Building Standard focuses on seven human-oriented categories of building performance: air, water, nourishment, light, fitness, comfort and mind.

Listen to Arthur van Kooij, head of project management Northern Europe for Prologis, speak about joining forces with the International WELL Building Institute to develop the WELL concept further.

The WELL Building Standard positions people first because a more pleasant workplace environment improves the well-being of employees and leads to higher motivation and productivity.

 

Partnerships

As a leading developer, we aim to raise the standards of our distribution facilities. We work together with experienced partners to adapt and adopt WELL for logistics real estate. WELL features in our buildings might well prove to be a distinguishing factor for our customers in recruiting logistics personnel. Offering an attractive working environment helps finding qualified employees as well as retaining them.
