    "2024 Fitwel Certification System Road Show" – 8th Stop! In addition to residential buildings, commercial office spaces have also been a key focus for our team in implementing Fitwel. As the first company in Taiwan to apply for Fitwel Certification System for commercial office spaces, Lenovo DCG Taipei R&D Center and Lenovo NKI office, both located in the Nangang Software Park, have successfully obtained the certification. The Lenovo NKI office even renewed its certification this year, achieving the highest rating of three stars! From equipment and space planning to operational policies, 聯想 has consistently set a great example for healthy office environments. We were honored to visit the NKI office with President Joanna, where we explored spaces such as the quiet room, shared work areas, rest zones, bar counter, and vegetable wall. We are excited about the potential for more commercial office spaces to adopt healthy operational practices, building on Lenovo's foundation.

  • 🌟 The 2024 Fitwel Certification System Taiwan Road Show made an unforgettable stop at Foxconn headquarters in New Taipei City earlier this month. This Fitwel-certified site is Taiwan's first certified existing building to seamlessly integrate manufacturing, office spaces, dining areas, and more.

Your dedication to sustainability is inspiring! We’re honored to support Green Matrix Consulting and Hon Hai Group's sustainable vision and thrilled to see the impact of the Fitwel Standard in action. 🌱 For more about the Taiwan trip, visit Green Matrix Consulting's LinkedIn page. #Fitwel #HealthyBuildings #SustainableDesign #BuildingHealth #FitwelRoadShow

    Second Stop of the 2024 Fitwel Certification System Taiwan Road Show! We visited the 富士康 headquarters in New Taipei City, which received the Fitwel 3-Star Rating in 2022—the highest score globally. This makes it the first certified existing building in Taiwan that integrates manufacturing lines, office spaces, dining areas, and more! After navigating the challenges of the pandemic, it was a pleasure to finally visit the founding headquarters of this international electronics leader with Joanna Frank. Special thanks to Mr. Hung, the Chief Sustainability Officer of 鴻海精密工業股份有限公司, for personally guiding us through the rooftop solar power station and edible landscape, and for demonstrating how to create organic compost using worm bins. We thrilled to have facilitated such a valuable exchange and honored to be part of Hon Hai Group's sustainable blueprint!

    "2024 Fitwel Certification System Road Show" – 9th Stop! Horizon Design & Construction Company focuses on user experience and corporate culture shaping as the core of its design philosophy, firmly believing that good design can bring energy and make a positive impact on daily life. This approach has earned them the trust and partnership of major industries, including technology, finance, and healthcare. Not only do they integrate sustainability into their space designs, but they also reflect it within their own corporate culture. Last year, Horizon Design celebrated its 35th anniversary and officially launched its ESG initiatives. This year, their headquarters in Taipei achieved Fitwel Certification System 3-Star certification—the highest level. Unlike other projects with new office spaces, their headquarters is located in a 20-year-old building in the city center. The team worked creatively within the limitations of the existing structure, implementing Fitwel strategies through furniture, spatial reorganization, and plant planning. We are excited to witness the direct impact that Fitwel has had on the design process!
