The U.S. Green Building Council New Jersey Chapter honored LG Electronics USA for 'outstanding achievement and best practices in green building and sustainability.' 2015 Top Honoree award recognizes the new design for LG's North American Headquarters in Englewood Cliffs that will create a world-class, sustainably designed building to the benefit of LG and the state of New Jersey, while protecting the iconic vistas and integrity of the Palisades Park, a National Natural and Historic Landmark.
In June, LG and leading conservation groups reached a win-win agreement on an amended design for the company's headquarters project. The landmark settlement (with Scenic Hudson, the New Jersey State Federation of Women's Clubs, the Natural Resources Defense Council, New Jersey Conservation Foundation and NY-NJ Trail Conference) paves the way for construction to begin next year.
The new 360,000-square-foot building maintains the LG complex's green design that aspires for LEED Platinum certification and includes planting 700 trees and protecting woodlands and six wetlands on the 27-acre site in Englewood Cliffs. Site improvements are expected to significantly reduce runoff into the Palisades and help eliminate flooding issues for neighbors to the south.
The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is the Washington-based non-profit organization that is committed to a prosperous and sustainable future through cost-efficient and energy-saving green buildings.

The U.S. Green Building Council New Jersey Chapter (USGBC NJ) is a non-profit organization focused solely on advancing green building and sustainable communities. The mission of USGBC NJ is to transform New Jersey's built environment to become ecologically sustainable, profitable and healthy.
