Shanghai, July 30, 2026 – Rentokil Initial, a global provider of environmental sanitation and integrated pest management services, in partnership with BOMA China, successfully held an online launch event for the Chinese version of the “Best Practices Guide for Pest Control”.
This press conference aims to address the core needs of commercial real estate investors and asset managers, helping China's commercial real estate industry to fully align with international pest control management standards. It advocates for a transformation of pest management from a traditional "logistical response" approach to a modern management model that is "institutionalized, preventative, green, and data-driven," effectively improving tenant satisfaction and retention rates, and driving a leap in overall asset value.
Reshaping Perceptions: Pest Control Management as an "Invisible Moat" for Asset Value
my country's commercial real estate market has entered an era of refined operation of existing assets. The "2025 BOMA China Commercial Building Tenant Satisfaction Benchmark Report" shows that "building health and safety" (36%) has become the primary consideration for tenants when evaluating buildings. As a crucial link in ensuring building health and safety, pest control management has long transcended the traditional scope of cleaning and logistics, becoming an "invisible moat" directly related to the environmental quality inside the building, protecting tenant health and safety, reducing hidden operating costs, improving ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) performance, and strengthening brand reputation and market competitiveness. Professional pest management is far more than simple "post-event extermination"; it requires establishing a systematic management mechanism encompassing policy support, risk prevention, environmental barriers, continuous monitoring, and effectiveness evaluation.
Strong Alliance: Creating Synergistic Value Through International Best Practices
Based on this, Nengduojie and BOMA China have joined forces to launch the Chinese version of the "Best Practices Guide for Pest Control" (hereinafter referred to as the "Guide"). As a British multinational company with a century-long history and a global benchmark for pest control and environmental management, Nengduojie is committed to upgrading pest control from "passive response" to "proactive management aligned with asset management goals," providing value delivery throughout the entire lifecycle. Since its establishment, BOMA China has been committed to helping Chinese building owners achieve asset appreciation through standards and assessment certifications, and this is the first time it has placed pest control management within its asset risk governance framework. Both parties are committed to building an internationally recognized language for investors, owners, property owners, and suppliers through the "Guide," enabling "collaborative value creation."
In-depth analysis: Building a full-chain pest control management system from four dimensions
At the press conference, Ms. Wei Yi, Director of Technology and Compliance at Nengduojie China, provided an in-depth interpretation of the core framework of the "Guidelines," offering a practical, end-to-end management system for diverse stakeholders in commercial real estate from four dimensions:
First layer: Strategic positioning – Upgrading pest control from “emergency response” to an “asset-level management system”. This is defined as an essential foundation for preventing asset loss and mitigating business and compliance risks.
The second layer: Management model – Clearly defining the responsibilities of all parties. Regardless of whether a self-management or outsourcing model is adopted, standardized output and full-process supervision capabilities are core competencies that owners and property managers must master.
The third layer: Implementation standards – By focusing on rigorous contract management, physical barriers, and environmental control, we can block the breeding and invasion conditions of pests at the source and ensure long-term and stable prevention and control effects.
The fourth layer: technology implementation and monitoring – promoting the transformation of monitoring data from “routine archiving” to “business decision-making”, providing solid data support for resource optimization and preventive decision-making.
Benchmarking: Deep Integration of International Standards and Practical Applications
During the press conference, Shanghai Dongjiu Panyi Property Management Co., Ltd., as an industry benchmark, shared its practical experience. Its projects, relying on Nengduojie's professional technology and the BOMA international framework, have established a standardized, data-driven, and closed-loop Integrated Pest Management (IPM) process. By seamlessly integrating international standards into daily property management and the ISO quality system, Dongjiu Panyi has successfully transformed asset management goals into traceable and perceptible high-quality services. While effectively reducing the risk of vector-borne disease transmission and ensuring the health and safety of tenants, it has set a highly valuable practical example for the industry.
In the future, Nengduojie will continue to deepen its cooperation with BOMA China and a wide range of commercial real estate owners, providing full-cycle support services including "system diagnosis and self-inspection, professional training and empowerment, implementation optimization, and performance quantification and display". Relying on its world-leading technology and professional capabilities, Nengduojie will work with Chinese commercial real estate to build a "hidden moat" and achieve a win-win future for sustainable asset value.
