Trust.
The SHORE Certification, an acronym for SAFE Hospitality, Office, Retail, and Exhibitions, establishes a set of internationally recognized standards aimed at governing the operational Risk, Resilience, and Governance in real estate operations. The certification serves as a hallmark of excellence, ensuring that properties are managed and operated under a framework of robust safety, security, and governance protocols.
The foundation of the SHORE standards is built upon a diverse range of regulatory and insurance requirements. It incorporates documented industry best practices and aligns with ISO standards and established safety and security standards, ensuring a comprehensive and well-rounded approach to real estate operational excellence.
One of the defining features of the SHORE Certification is its dynamic and evolving nature. It is not a static set of standards but a living framework that adapts to the changing landscape of risks. Feedback is actively sought and collected from a broad spectrum of stakeholders, including clients, global partners, industry collaborations, and the insurance sector. This feedback mechanism ensures that the SHORE Certification remains relevant, current, and responsive to the industry’s emerging challenges and evolving risks.
In essence, the SHORE Certification is more than just a certification; it’s a commitment to operational excellence, a pledge to safety and security, and a testament to good governance in real estate operations. It provides a structured pathway for real estate entities to not only meet but exceed the expectations of safety, security, and governance, thereby instilling confidence among stakeholders and fostering a culture of continuous improvement and excellence.
