DLD building gets health-safety rating certificate from IWBI
 

Dubai Land Department (DLD) recently became the first integrated government building in Dubai to receive the WELL Health-Safety Rating certificate issued by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI).

The rating was awarded after DLD successfully passed the evaluation and review phase by the Green Business Certification Corporation (GBCI).

DLD was rated for features such as hygiene and sterilisation procedures, emergency preparedness programmes, health service resources, air and water quality management, and innovation standards.

H E Sultan Butti bin Mejren, Director General of DLDSultan Butti bin Mejren, Director General of DLD, said, “DLD is constantly looking to implement and keep abreast of the latest global developments on the real estate and environmental levels, based on its vision to position Dubai as the world's premier real estate destination and a byword for innovation, trust, and happiness. Obtaining the Well Health-Safety Rating enhances the advancement of our objectives and plans, helping us contribute to achieving a leadership approach in prioritising the health and safety of humans and buildings as well as to paving the way for jointly owned property management companies to follow our example in obtaining this important classification. 

“We will continue our efforts to develop our services to fulfill our various values, including the integration of our systems and procedures, which will lead to customer happiness, the establishment of a culture of creativity and innovation at DLD, and the provision of professional real estate services through highly professional human resources in a safe and healthy environment.”
