On the list, were leading companies including Saint-Gobain CertainTeed.Demonstrating their leadership in sustainability, instead of building a ground-up, new corporate headquarters, Saint-Gobain CertainTeed transformed a 320,000 SF existing office building into a state of the art headquarters incorporating innovative solutions for energy use and a premier environment for employees.
