The award is in the LEED category for Commercial Interiors, which recognises working spaces in leased commercial buildings that are healthy, productive places to work, are operated and maintained efficiently, and have a reduced environmental footprint.
Areas rated by LEED include water and energy efficiency, management of materials and resources, innovation in design and the quality of the indoor environment.
Karl Kramer, president, innovation and commercial development for Tate & Lyle, said: “From the outset, we were committed to designing and fitting out our new Commercial and Food Innovation Center in a responsible and sustainable way. Receiving LEED Gold certification represents a significant achievement for everyone involved in the project, and great credit goes to our employees for actively supporting a culture of efficiency and sustainability in the way we maintain and operate the centre.”
