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.

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.
