Indoor air quality is increasingly being recognised as a health, productivity, accessibility and inclusion issue. We’re seeing this in public inquiries, global commitments, research, and more media coverage about the issue. We’re continuing to grow our advocacy, resources and partnerships.

This Forbes article highlights how our indoor environments can influence how effectively we can think and make decisions. Studied in both controlled and real-world environments, the connection between indoor air quality and performance is measurable.

Why Better Air Quality Leads To Better Team Performance

Indoor air quality is an often-overlooked factor that shapes employee performance and decision-making long before those impacts appear in traditional metrics.

In recent years there has been a tendency to seal homes to improve energy performance, without considering the flow on impacts to indoor air quality, ventilation, transmission of airborne illnesses, humidity, damp and mould.

✨The impact of safer air✨ The air we share is invisible, but its impact is not. Safer indoor air supports better health, wellbeing, inclusion and productivity. It can reduce invisible barriers for people living with chronic health conditions and/or disability. Donate this EOFY bit.ly/sap-eofy26
