Look for the Works with WELL mark

Trademark authorization requirements

The Works with WELL mark can only be used for products that have met the Works with WELL licensing criteria and have been authorized by IWBI. Licenses to use the Works with WELL mark are granted solely with respect to specific products that have demonstrated alignment with a WELL feature. Thus, mark placement should be directly associated with a specific product that was the subject of a successful application; it may not be used generally in connection with the organization at large or with large classes of products or any products that have not been reviewed and authorized to use the mark by IWBI.

In the event one product or certain products have been authorized by IWBI to use the mark and other products by the same manufacturer have not been reviewed and authorized, then even if those non-reviewed and non-authorized products are related or similar to the reviewed products, the mark is not permitted to be used in connection with any such non reviewed and non-authorized products. For example, if an organization has a standing desk available in different finishes comprised of different materials, but only one or certain standing desks in certain finishes are authorized to use the mark and a standing desk using a different material has not been reviewed or authorized by IWBI to use the mark, the manufacturer is not permitted to use the mark in any manner that indicates or suggests that the non-reviewed and non-authorized products have been authorized to use the mark. Further, if a brochure or website lists various products made by a manufacturer, including authorized and unauthorized products, the mark can only be used in connection with the products that have gone through the Works with WELL review process and been authorized by IWBI to use the mark. Authorized products may use the mark on their websites, packaging, advertising, and marketing for so long as the license remains valid and solely in connection with the applicable product.

Marketing and packaging guidelines

Products that have met Works with WELL licensing criteria will receive rights to use a digital mark provided by IWBI, as well as a personalized QR code and customized page in the product catalog.

  • Marketing materials: The digital mark can be placed on websites, product packaging, specification documentation, print and digital marketing collateral and education materials. Unique QR codes must always be featured next to or below the Works with WELL mark in digital and printed materials. The QR code links directly to the customized page in IWBI’s product catalog, demonstrating how the product meets the Works with WELL licensing criteria.

  • Product packaging: In addition to the digital use cases listed above, the mark can be placed directly on product packaging to showcase alignment with specific strategies in the WELL Building Standard. Unique QR codes must always be featured next to or below the Works with WELL mark in product and packaging materials. Placement of the mark and corresponding QR code may be featured on product packaging so long as placement of the mark does not suggest or indicate in any way that IWBI is involved in the manufacturing, design, supply, importing or retail process.

How to reference Works with WELL

Please keep in mind the following when drafting public statements:

Specific products must demonstrate they meet licensing criteria and receive authorization from IWBI before an organization can include public statements in marketing and brand materials and before the mark may be used in digital, product applications described above. The license is subject to annual renewal to remain active. All public statements about authorization to use the Works with WELL mark must be accurate and not misleading. If the license to use the mark expires and is not renewed, then all use of the mark in all media channels (digital, print, packaging, etc.) must cease and an off boarding and wind down plan shall be agreed upon with IWBI in order to confirm discontinuance of all uses of the Works with WELL mark. Other than accurate, factual statements about historical status, no other public statements may be made about a product’s association with the mark and no statements may be made that are misleading or that suggest or imply that the product continues to meet the licensing requirements of the Works with WELL program.
