Newark / CA. (prn) When FullBloom Baking Company needed to expand in 2006, they purchased a 95’000 square foot (about 2’690 square metres) food manufacturing plant with an eye towards making it the greenest wholesale baking company in the United States. Now their efforts were rewarded when the US Green Building Council bestowed Platinum certification—the highest level of LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) recognition to Fullbloom´s management. Long before being green became a sought-after business attribute, FullBloom was quietly following sustainable practices. When CEO and Founder Karen Trilevsky decided to grow her business, LEED certification is the only business model option she considered pursuing. Green is part of the Company´s DNA, and according to Trilevsky that means «doing what is right for customers and consumers, for employees, and for the Earth». Those values helped drive everyone at FullBloom, founded in 1989, who participated in the arduous process of applying for LEED certification. «This certification speaks to the contributions made by the entire FullBloom team – from management to bakery employees – all of whom remain committed to the vision I had for my company 21 years ago», Trilevsky says in a press release.
