Why Biophilic Upgrades Are Worth Every Penny
Investing in biophilic design isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about creating a healthier, more productive, and more profitable work environment.
Across industries, forward-thinking companies are seeing measurable returns on their investment in nature-based design. Here’s what the data shows:
The Business Impact of Biophilic Design
40% Fewer Sick Days
A financial firm in New York City reduced employee sick days by 40% after installing a living green wall—demonstrating how biophilic design can significantly improve workplace health and resilience (Terrapin Bright Green).
Healthcare Workplaces Show Measurable Gains
A 2024 Frontiers review of 38 studies found that biophilic features—natural light, plants, and nature views—led to consistent reductions in staff absenteeism, along with lower stress and higher productivity (Frontiers, 2024).
Office Environments Echo the Trend
A 2023 industry analysis published in UBS-JETAS confirms that businesses using biophilic design enjoy lower absenteeism, greater job satisfaction, and improved performance outcomes (UBS-JETAS, 2023).
