Nordic Naturals Says It Is First NSF-Certified, LEED Gold Certified Supplement Facility

Nordic Naturals says it is the first NSF-certified U.S. dietary supplements marketer to build a new LEED Gold certified facility.

Omega-3 fish oil dietary supplement brand Nordic Naturals says it is the first NSF-certified U.S. dietary supplements marketer to build a new LEED Gold certified facility. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is an internationally recognized green-building certification system that targets building facilities sustainably.

Nordic Naturals says that its 87,000-sq-ft, two-story headquarters, warehouse, and fulfillment center in Watsonville, CA, is the largest LEED Gold certified building in the tri-county area. Details such as floors made of cork and recycled rubber, energy-saving fixtures, and much more made the building sustainable.
