Consultancy and construction company Mace obtains ‘The IMMUNE Building Standard’ for its headquarters in London

Mace, the international consultancy and construction company based in London, has obtained the first IMMUNE Building Standard™ certification in the world for its headquarters located in the City of London. The IMMUNE™ Powerful certificate and plaque were awarded to Mace’s team, represented by board members and team members from the project management and facility management divisions, in a virtual ceremony in early December.

The IMMUNE Building Standard™ is a global open-source standard designed specifically to help combat health risks in the workplace, reduce fears, particularly in the context of Covid-19, and build trust among employers and employees in their efforts to safely return to the office.

Pioneered by Liviu Tudor, European business-property entrepreneur and president of the European Property Federation, and developed in Romania together with an international team of experts in health, technology, architecture, constructions, engineering, and facility management, the IMMUNE Building Standard™ serves as a blueprint to improve the immunity of office buildings against pandemics and other bacteriological or toxicological threats.

“The Covid-19 pandemic has radically changed the way we live, work and interact and has underscored how important it is for companies around the world to be prepared for such a crisis. Excepting hospitals, clinics and “clean rooms” dedicated to scientific research, no other building has been truly prepared so far to face a pandemic challenge like Covid-19. Mace has shown outstanding leadership in boosting the immune system of its workplace and certifying its resilience with IMMUNE™. I am happy to congratulate Mace on this impressive achievement and I am confident that this is just the first step towards ensuring healthier office environments across the globe”, said Liviu Tudor, founder of Genesis Property and president of the European Property Federation.

In the past months, Mace has applied extensive measures from the collection of 120+ IMMUNE™ criteria recommended for safer and healthier workplace environments, building on its “safety first” culture, and has now achieved the Powerful label for its headquarters, equivalent to 4 stars out of 5. The certification is based on the IMMUNE™ exhaustive assessment process conducted by Build Green, an independent authorised building assessor and a contributor to the development of the IMMUNE™ standard.
