LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is an internationally recognized green building certification system. Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED provides building owners and operators with a framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions. As the industry standard for sustainable design, LEED evaluates a facility’s potential impact in several areas, including CO₂ emissions, energy, waste, water and environmental quality.

“LEED’s primary focus is commercial buildings, so large-scale manufacturing facilities like ours bring added complexity in areas like energy performance and water efficiency. But we are adapting the LEED process globally — whether the project is in China or Brazil or Utah, you see a highly consistent level of rigor and performance. That takes a lot of education and diligence among project teams, but we continue to move toward our certification goals. It’s a process that’s becoming part of our everyday work.”
