Novus International Headquarters

Novus is a global leader in animal health and nutrition with a strong emphasis on Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability. Sustainability at Novus is founded on the triple bottom line: social, economic, and environmental factors. Because of this mission, the company’s global headquarters was awarded Platinum LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification by the U.S. Green Building Council in 2009.

In May of 2010, Novus International joined more than 150 other pilot projects from 34 states as well as from Canada, Iceland and Spain, chosen by the Sustainable Sites Initiative™ (SITES™) to test the new 4-star rating system and guidelines for sustainable landscapes.

In January, 2012 the global headquarters campus of Novus International became one of the first pilot projects certified by SITES for its sustainable site design, construction, and maintenance. The campus design and construction administration, led by landscape architects SWT Design, was awarded a 3-star rating by SITES, making it one of the highest-rated landscape projects in the world.
