Some of the criteria we will use:
Is it energy efficient?
Does it use innovative or alternative energy?
Is it minimally polluting?
Does it minimize water use?
Were green building materials used and construction waste minimized?
Is the design innovative?
Is it economically sustainable?
Nominated plants should be less than three years old. They can be any size facility, from any size company. LEED (U.S. Green Building Council) certification is certainly a plus but is not necessary. Sustainable practices tangential to the facility – such as selection of suppliers, ingredients or packaging with a lower carbon footprint – also will be considered. So will the parent corporation’s commitment to sustainability. Quantifiable measures are essential.
