LEED® Certification

Sonae Arauco has been investing in the development of new construction and decorative solutions which, while adapting to the most varied technical requirements, play a key role in helping projects to obtain LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environment Design) certification – an international seal of sustainability for buildings – from planning to construction and maintenance, namely in the “Materials and Resources” and “Indoor Air Quality” categories.

LEED® is a system aimed at certifying buildings and not materials, thus Sonae Arauco is able to contribute to this certification by obtaining credits that result from the use of our wood solutions
