Laserfiche — the leading SaaS provider of intelligent content
management and business process automation — announced today that
its Long Beach-based global headquarters has been awarded LEED
Silver certification. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design), developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), is
the most widely used green building rating system in the world and
an international symbol of excellence. Laserfiche achieved LEED
Silver certification for implementing practical and measurable
strategies and solutions in areas including sustainable site
development, energy efficiency, materials selection, and indoor
environmental quality.

The Laserfiche headquarters project integrated sustainability
and environmental practices into the construction and overall
design from its inception. The site, located on a corner block of
Long Beach Boulevard near the 405 freeway, was once the location of
eight formerly active oil wells and widely considered
undevelopable. A full remediation restored the soil and groundwater
environment in preparation for construction.
Reinforcing sustainable practices beyond site remediation,
Laserfiche selected low-carbon and chemically transparent building
materials. During construction, Laserfiche achieved an 85%
construction waste diversion rate, translating to 80 tons of CO2
saved from emissions — equivalent to an energy offset of 10 single
family houses for a full year.
Design and construction followed principles of biophilic design,
which focuses on incorporating elements of the natural world that
contribute to human health, wellness and productivity. The office
optimizes energy efficiency and thermal comfort while maximizing
daylight throughout, providing well-lit workspaces and access to
outdoor areas, including communal patios.
“Achieving LEED status with our global headquarters demonstrates
Laserfiche’s deep commitment to our employees and the wider
Laserfiche community,” says Karl Chan, chief executive officer at
Laserfiche. “As one of the first global technology companies to
establish a headquarters in Long Beach, we’re excited to deepen our
connection to the city and region. We look forward to continuing to
model innovation in our product development as well as our
workplace.”
“Achieving LEED certification is more than just implementing
sustainable practices. It represents a commitment to making the
world a better place and influencing others to do better,” said
Peter Templeton, president and CEO, USGBC. "Given the extraordinary
importance of climate protection and the central role buildings
play in that effort, Laserfiche’s Global Headquarters is creating a
path forward through their LEED certification.”
