NEW YORK, May 28, 2024 /3BL/ - The [International WELL Building Institute ](https://www.wellcertified.com/)(IWBI), the global authority for transforming health in buildings, organizations and communities, announced today the launch of its WELL v2 and ESRS alignment tool, a comprehensive resource designed to demonstrate how IWBI’s WELL Building Standard (WELL) aligns with the [European Sustainability Reporting Standards](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/en/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32023R2772) (ESRS), helping organizations show how achieving WELL strategies meets the requirements of ESRS and bolster their sustainability reporting.

The new tool suggests how organizations can leverage implemented WELL strategies to support their sustainability reporting and disclosure requirements under the ESRS framework. Specifically, the alignment tool identifies over 30 WELL features that can contribute to reporting on 50% of the ESRS’s requirements (36 of 70 ESRS-coded disclosure items) across the E, S and G pillars with a predominant focus on the Social part. Beginning in 2025, companies covered by the [Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32022L2464) (CSRD) will report under the ESRS framework for the 2024 financial year and onward.

“As organizations across the globe seek to meet the reporting requirements of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards, we are pleased to provide this alignment tool which shows WELL may contribute towards up to 50% of the ESRS reporting requirements,” said Rachel Hodgdon, IWBI President and CEO. “When it comes to a company’s own workforce— the first social pillar — WELL can contribute to up to 14 of the 17 disclosure items. We look forward to partnering with our customers as they leverage WELL to implement, validate and report on their strategies to advance social sustainability.”

**About ESRS**

Adopted in July 2023 by the European Commission, ESRS are a set of detailed reporting requirements for companies that apply to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The framework specifies the information that a company shall disclose about its material impacts, risks and opportunities in relation to environmental, social and governance matters. With an embedded double materiality approach, information disclosed under ESRS allows users of sustainability reporting to understand the reporting organizations’ material impacts on people and environment as well as the material financial impact of their sustainability matters.

**About WELL**

[WELL v2](https://v2.wellcertified.com/en/wellv2/overview/) is the latest iteration of the WELL Building Standard, the world’s premier building rating system that provides actionable strategies for health and well-being at the building, organizational and community levels.
