D&L said its head office in Quezon City received the LEED Gold certification for operations and maintenance (O&M).

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design or LEED certification is a globally recognized symbol of sustainability achievement and is the world's most widely used green building rating system.

It provides a framework for healthy, highly efficient and cost-saving green buildings, which offer environmental, social and governance benefits.

D&L earlier this year also received a LEEDv4 Gold certification from Barone International for the six-story Central Hub of its plant in Batangas.

D&L's Batangas plant showcases state of the art technology in manufacturing as well as global best practices in incorporating sustainability in operations.
