Patagonia Distribution Center Built Green With LEED

Patagonia Distribution Center Built Green With LEED

Wednesday, Jan 29, 2014

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3KPlk34DZ0 Published on Aug 31, 2007 When we needed to expand our distribution center in Reno, Nevada we looked to the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED, certification standards as our guide to building a green building that balances environmental responsibility, resource efficiency and the comfort and well-being of our workforce. The Patagonia Footprint Chronicles allows you to track the environmental impact of a specific Patagonia product from design through delivery.
