Wilsonville, OR facility LEED v4.1 Operations +
Maintenance certified
Twist Bioscience Corporation (NASDAQ: TWST), a company enabling
customers to succeed through its offering of high-quality synthetic
DNA using its silicon platform, today announced that the U.S. Green
Building Council (USGBC) awarded the company’s Wilsonville, OR
facility LEED certification, meeting sustainability standards for
its building, operations and maintenance.
“We founded Twist to improve health and sustainability, and
every day we work toward that mission by providing our customers
with products to enable them to build a better world,” said Emily
M. Leproust, Ph.D., CEO and co-founder of Twist Bioscience. “Last
year we quantified the carbon footprint of making a gene using the
Twist platform and found that our approach is the equivalent of
driving 0.092 miles (0.15km) compared to 59 miles (95km) using a
96-well plate approach1. By achieving LEED certification for our
Wilsonville site where we manufacture our genes and synbio
products, we can provide our customers with DNA made using fewer
chemical reagents in a facility that upholds the LEED standards of
sustainability.”
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a
globally recognized green building rating system that provides a
framework for healthy, highly efficient, and cost-saving green
buildings. The LEED v4.1 Operations + Maintenance (O+M)
certification applies to existing buildings that are undergoing
improvement work or little to no construction. Certified buildings
meet requirements for location and transportation; sustainable
sites; water efficiency; energy and atmosphere; materials and
resources; indoor environmental quality; and innovation.
