“As environmentally conscious design gains momentum for commercial offices, municipal buildings, schools, retail centers and similar buildings, it is noteworthy to see this trend emerging in the industrial sector as well. The Nestlé Waters LEED Certified plants are a great example of what businesses can accomplish by promoting superior environmental and economic performance from their own facilities.”

The first U.S. food manufacturing facility to achieve LEED Certification was our Mecosta, Michigan facility.
