Enel’s office in Milan is the first building in Italy to obtain the WELL Building Standard® Platinum Level Certification

Enel's office in Via Carducci, Milan, is the first building in Italy to receive the WELL Building Standard® Platinum level certification, making it one of the highest-rated certified buildings in the world, with a score of 91/100.

The recognition is in line with Enel's commitment to put people at the center of its operations, using tools that guarantee the presence and maintenance of conditions that are favorable to physical and psychological well-being.

The building is approximately 9,500 square meters and was designed for Edison by architect Giò Ponti in 1952. After completing renovations in 2019, Enel decided to start the WELL Certification process. This involved integrating high-tech solutions to ensure high-quality standards for:

  • lighting (natural and artificial)

  • workplace acoustics

  • low/no concentration of contaminants in the air

  • ergonomics of spaces and workstations

  • the incorporation of greenery

  • cultural and artistic enhancement of the site

By achieving this important goal, Enel confirms its focus on innovation and people's well-being, even in the management of its workspaces. Our ongoing commitment to the environment, which we guarantee our customers, is reflected through concrete actions, including those for all the people in the Enel Group.”

Nicola Lanzetta, Director of Enel Italia.

When I first met the Enel team it was clear that they were committed to their employees and that pursuing WELL at the highest level was a source of pride,” comments Rick Fedrizzi, Executive Chairman of the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI). “I congratulate them on this significant achievement and applaud their leadership in Italy and in the global utilities sector.

Achieving this prestigious certification is part of a wider refurbishment program of the company's premises that is being carried out across all its real estate assets in Italy.
