Certified sustainability projects

Project description

Warehouse 300B is an industrial building located in Parque Logístico Callao, in Callao, Peru, that houses PepsiCo's logistics operation in the country. The building achieved LEED BD+C: Warehouses & Distribution Centers certification at the Gold level, the LEED variant designed specifically for warehouses and distribution centers.

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), developed by the U.S. Green Building Council, evaluates a building's performance in categories such as energy efficiency, water use, materials, indoor environmental quality, and location and transportation. The Gold level requires between 60 and 79 points and is one of the most demanding in the system.

This certification is the first of three planned for the same project.

What makes this project innovative?

Achieving LEED Gold in an industrial building is a particular challenge: these facilities combine large floor areas, high lighting requirements, and intensive logistics operations. The project demonstrated that high-level sustainability standards can be brought to logistics infrastructure.

The project stands out for:

• Applying a LEED rating system specific to warehouses and distribution centers, adapted to the real conditions of this type of operation.
• Achieving Gold level in a highly complex project with demanding performance goals from the outset.
• Laying the groundwork for two additional certifications within the same project.

Project impact

The LEED Gold certification of Warehouse 300B positions Callao's logistics infrastructure as a benchmark for sustainable construction in Peru's industrial sector.
