The latest in a series of reports highlighting the impact of LEED across sectors and regions of the world, the LEED in Motion: Industrial Facilities report illustrates the many ways modern factories, warehouses and more are leveraging LEED for cost savings, greater efficiency and better human health. Take a look at these videos of four of the industry’s leading users of LEED to see how they adapt best green building practices to fit their unique needs in the resource-intensive world of manufacturing.

Today, Mars continues to take its responsibility for its business impacts, both environmental and social, seriously. For Mars, sustainability makes business sense; LEED fits into its sustainable generation commitment because it helps it build efficiency from the start. This video was originally created for Mars as the winner of the 2014 Ray Anderson Radical Industrialism Award.

This 157,660-square-foot LEED Platinum space houses Method’s manufacturing and bottling operations and serves as a distribution center for both Method and Ecover. The campus also features its own wind turbine (which helps generate half of the building's annual electrical consumption), solar tracking trees in the parking lot and a green roof that produces 500 pounds of fresh produce annually.
