Sustainability Certification & Compliance Services:
Helping your projects meet global and UK sustainability standards

BREEAM is the world’s leading environmental rating, setting the standard against which the sustainability of new and non-residential buildings in the UK are assessed.
Developers and their project teams use the scheme at key stages in the design and procurement process to measure, evaluate, improve and reflect the performance of their buildings. BREEAM assessments focus on sustainable value and efficiency throughout the buildings lifecycle.

SOCOTEC provides BREEAM Accredited Professional (AP) and Consultancy services in the UK. We are ready to help you achieve your desired BREEAM rating. We cover a wide range of services to help guide you through your BREEAM accreditation process. Assisting you from the early stages right through to in-use phase of your project.

The BREEAM system is divided into three categories: BREEAM Design; BREEAM Management; BREEAM Performance

The WELL Building Standard is a performance-based system for measuring, certifying, and monitoring features of the built environment that impact human health and well-being. It focuses on aspects like air quality, water quality, nourishment, fitness, and comfort in buildings. WELL certification promotes healthier and more sustainable spaces.

WELL Building Standard puts health and wellbeing at the centre of design and construction decisions. 
A great emphasis is given on strategies aimed at enhancing people’s health and wellbeing in building without neglecting the building sustainability performance and the impact on the environment.

Best practices in design and construction are coupled with robust evidence-based medical and scientific research – harnessing the built environment as a vehicle to support human health and wellbeing.

LEED is a globally recognised certification system for sustainable buildings, developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). It sets the standard for energy efficiency, water conservation, carbon reduction, and improved indoor environmental quality.

While primarily used in the U.S., LEED is increasingly recognised in the UK for projects seeking an internationally respected sustainability framework. At SOCOTEC, we support clients in understanding and integrating LEED principles into their projects, ensuring alignment with best practices in sustainable design and operation. Our expertise helps navigate key LEED criteria, optimising building performance while complementing UK-specific regulations and sustainability goals.
