Nokia's Jucu Factory in Romania has been chosen as one of the world's leading green buildings by the US Green Building Council (USGBC).



The prestigious Gold Rating for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is the first for a building in Romania and recognizes the major investment in innovative environmental features made by Nokia since its construction in 2007.




Jucu factory Managing Director Risto Meskus said today (Tues): "We are extremely proud to be leading the way in creating truly sustainable buildings in our operations. It is an honour that our factory in Romania has been picked as one of the world's most-sustainable buildings and Romania's greenest factory.




"This achievement demonstrates our strong commitment to, and investment in, sustainability, efficiency and environmental quality in the way we run our daily business," Meskus added.




Nokia Jucu factory is a 60 million Euro investment in Romania begun in 2007 and finished in September 2008.




Nokia is one of the most important investors in Romania in the telecommunications sector.
