The Works with WELL mark is a license granted by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) to organizations whose products or services have been validated as aligning with one or more strategies in the WELL Building Standard (WELL Standard).

For organizations that design, manufacture, or provide solutions for the built environment, the Works with WELL mark  is a way to demonstrate that your offerings can help project teams achieve healthier buildings and spaces. Licensed solutions are showcased in the WELL directory, where architects, designers, facility managers, and project teams worldwide search for products and services to support their WELL journey.

Works with WELL participation is also a signal to the market that your organization is invested in health and well-being. The WELL Standard is deployed across billions of square feet globally, with tens of thousands of WELL APs (Accredited Professionals) and hundreds of Fortune and Global 500 companies engaged. Aligning your solutions with WELL connects you to one of the world's leading health-focused real estate communities. 

The Works with WELL mark is not a product certification, health designation, product declaration, or endorsement. It is not a guarantee that a solution is healthy, will improve human health, or will ensure the achievement of any WELL strategy or achievement milestone. Licensing the Works with WELL mark is not equivalent to earning a WELL Certification, WELL Rating, or any other WELL designation.

The Works with WELL mark is a verified signal that a product or service aligns with one or more evidence-based WELL strategies, which also signifies that the organization licensing it is committed to supporting healthier built environments.

Works with WELL is for any organization that manufactures products or offers services that align with WELL strategies.

A Works with WELL profile is built around alignments — the specific WELL strategies your solution connects to, and the nature of that connection. The program uses three alignment types to describe the strength and character of that relationship. Understanding which types apply to your solution is the starting point for building a profile that accurately and fully represents how your solution contributes to health and well-being.

Many solutions will have a combination of alignment types across their profile. A product might directly contribute to an ergonomics strategy and support several additional WELL strategies through its functionality, for example. The Works with WELL program is designed to capture all of these connections.

Begin your exploration of Works with WELL by understanding the Directly Contributes and Measures alignments available for your product type or service by reviewing the Works with WELL compatibility table. This resource lists all product types currently eligible for Directly Contributes and Measures alignments, the WELL strategies each product type or service is compatible with, and whether alignment with each strategy is mandatory or optional for that solution. 

For each eligible product type or service, mandatory alignments must be demonstrated before any other alignments (including Supports alignments) can be pursued. Optional alignments may be pursued at the organization's discretion. The goal of a Works with WELL profile is to showcase the full breadth of how a solution contributes to health and well-being — organizations are encouraged to pursue every applicable alignment their solution can genuinely support.
