Dunkin' Donuts was to break ground Thursday on its first LEED certified restaurant -- guidelines reflecting tough environmental standards.
The latest Dunkin' restaurant, to be built out in St. Petersburg, Fla., will include energy-efficient construction and lighting, as well as water-efficient elements. It will serve as a prototype for the Canton, Mass.-based company, said Stephen J. Caldeira, chief global communications and public affairs officer for Dunkin' Brands, which operates Dunkin' Donuts.
LEED certification is recognized as the standard for "green" building in the U.S. The rating system, created by the United States Green Building Council, is a voluntary point-based rating system used to certify buildings as "green." LEED criteria are grouped into categories such as: sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality, as well as innovation and design process.
Dunkin' Donuts has more than 7,900 restaurants in 30 countries worldwide; global sales in 2007 were $5.3 billion.
