CINCINNATI, OH — While breaking ground for a plant in China, consumer packaged goods giant Procter & Gamble pledged today to pursue LEED certification for all new factories, distribution facilities, offices, innovation centers and other sites.
The manufacturing facility in Taicang, China, is the company’s first project to be registered under the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standards.
“Having all of our new sites LEED certified will help us make progress toward our long-term sustainability vision, which includes powering our plants with 100 percent renewable energy and zero manufacturing waste to landfill,” said Keith Harrison, P&G global product supply officer, in a statement.
