Rachel Gutter on designing with human health as the center of gravity
Rachel Gutter is CEO/President of the International Well Building Institute. Her journey is full of persistence and passion, but she points to the benefits of “wandering until you find what makes your heart sing.” We talked about IWBI’s Health Safety Rating for buildings and the opportunity that exists to demonstrate the ROI related to wellbeing in ESG ratings. And we talked about the public’s role in market transformation. A public newly attuned to health is ready to demand verifiably healthy spaces, which can drive change (even in sectors previously agnostic on sustainability).
