LEED® at Sobeys
New stores provide a great opportunity to implement energy saving initiatives and the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) Green Building Rating SystemTM has an influence on our building decisions, even where LEED® certification is not possible. LEED® was developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) in 1998 as a third-party certification program and internationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. It was brought to Canada and is managed by the Canadian Green Building Council (www.cagbc.org).
