Platinum award further proof of sustainability at Porsche

DGNB has certified the plant – which boasts a footprint of around 427 hectares and is currently undergoing expansion within the context of electromobility – as a particularly sustainable industrial site. This already marks Porsche’s second “Platinum” award. In 2017, the sports car manufacturer was the first ever industrial company to be awarded top marks by DGNB for parts of its main plant in Zuffenhausen.

The facility was assessed on the basis of 167 criteria in 28 categories. The elements analysed by DGNB included environmental protection, biodiversity and energy life cycle assessments, how resources are handled, how the site has been set up, its effects on the local, urban environment and infrastructure, ecological support during the construction phase, assessments of the life cycle costs and stability of the facility’s value as well as associated plans and processes. DGNB awarded a particularly high score to the energy management life cycle assessment and the site’s ability to change.

“Receiving the “Platinum” DGNB certificate is the best evidence of how #Porsche sets high sustainability targets for construction projects and then consistently and transparently meets them,” Christine Lemaitre explains as the Chief Executive Officer at DGNB. This Tuesday she handed over the award for the Leipzig site to Albrecht Reimold, Member of the Executive Board for Production and Logistics at #Porsche AG, and Gerd Rupp, Chairman of the Executive Board at #Porsche Leipzig GmbH.
