Target Secures LEED Certification For 44 More Stores In Canada

Target said an additional 44 of its stores in Canada have received Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification, which means all of the company’s 68 newly launched stores are now LEED-certified. In 2013, the company also plans to obtain LEED certification for the 124 stores it plans to open in Canada. For its LEED certification, Target is working with the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED Volume Program, under which the remaining stores will go through several rounds of audits in 2013.
