Virox Technologies Inc earns LEED® Gold Certification
“We officially produce the Greenest, Safest and Most Effective Disinfectants!”
Oakville, ON – In 2012, Virox was the first chemical manufacturer in Canada to earn LEED® Silver certification. Today, Virox Technologies Inc is proud to announce that amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic and working tirelessly to meet demands for our patented disinfectants, we have achieved LEED® Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). This certification applies to our 65,958 square foot headquarters which includes the company’s corporate offices, research & development laboratory, manufacturing and warehousing facility.
Virox’s sole focus is engineering revolutionary disinfectants in the war against pathogens. Our patented formulations are not a mere alternative to current disinfectants but game-changing technology platforms with demonstrable superiority over legacy disinfectant chemistries. Virox is dedicated to the development (Innovate), optimization (Formulate), adoption (Educate) and acceptance (Validate) of a fundamentally new approach to disinfection that has been reviewed and endorsed by third party authorities, the scientific community, official regulatory bodies and key opinion leaders in a broad range of industries. Those industries include human and animal health markets around the globe in over 70 countries.
To help upgrade their LEED certification, Virox hired an external consulting team. Developed by USGBC, LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is an internationally recognized green building certification system that provides third party verification that a building was designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performance in key environmental areas.
When asked why a chemical manufacturer would want to undertake such a challenge, Randy Pilon, President and CEO stated, “It’s the right thing to do. I challenged the team to achieve LEED certification and through the process we created a company that has completely changed its culture and embraced the challenge of being the greenest of the green with such a passion that we achieved LEED Gold status. It seemed only fitting that if we develop and manufacture certified green products, we should do so in a certified green building.”
