Daiya Foods Earns LEED Certification on Canadian Plant-Based Manufacturing Facility
Daiya, the first brand that cracked the code on plant-based cheese, announced the LEED certification of its plant-based food manufacturing facility and office building in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada.
Achieving LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification has been an important milestone for the plant-based cheesemaker since it began operations in 2008. As the largest stand-alone plant-based food facility of its kind in North America, obtaining the highly regarded environmental certification was critical to its mission of producing safe, high quality, non-GMO, plant-based cheesy food alternatives with minimal impact on the planet. As a leader in the plant-based movement, Daiya aims to align its mission across all areas of the business, and obtaining LEED certification not only for the manufacturing facility, but also for the corporate office, was paramount.
