Bridgestone Firestone North American Tire's Warren County Plant in Tennessee is the first tire plant to earn LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
LEED is a recognition of outstanding environmental building design and utilization that is rarely given to existing manufacturing sites.

This type of recognition is rare for an existing building and even more impressive for the Warren County truck and bus tire plant which was built 19 years ago. It is only the second existing manufacturing site in the country to earn this certification.

BFNT's Warren County tire plant has an track record of environmental performance including its use of clean energy hydrogen fuel cells in automated-guided vehicles in the plant. Energy-efficient lighting, high-tech fans, and resource-conserving fixtures in restrooms are also part of the plant's environmental conservation efforts. The BFNT Warren County facility has significantly reduced energy consumption and has reduced water consumption in the plant by more than 8 million gallons a year.

LEED was designed by the U.S. Green Building Council to encourage the development of more sustainable buildings. It is used by the EPA to certify its buildings and promote energy and resource efficiency, waste reduction and pollution prevention practices, indoor air quality standards, and other environmental initiatives for both new construction and existing buildings.
