Brookfield receives Bureau Veritas’ ‘Safeguard’ label

Brookfield Properties on March 9 announced that it is the first commercial real estate company in the country to have received Bureau Veritas’ ‘Safeguard’ label, a leading health, safety, and hygiene assessment certifications.

The certification focuses on four areas of operation – safe working conditions for employees, end consumer reassurance, compliance with local regulation and consistent approach across all sites.
