KFC OZ opens second LEED location

KFC Australia officially opens its second LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certifiable quick service restaurant at Lidcombe in New South Wales.

Michael Clark, Chief Supply Chain Officer for KFC Australia said he was proud of the company’s continued industry-leading sustainability initiatives.

“We chose to open this LEED certifiable store in Lidcombe because of the community’s interest in protecting the environment.

“This opening is a significant milestone in our journey towards creating more sustainable restaurants, our first LEED certified store resides at East Maitland in New South Wales. It has been successfully operating for more than 18 months and since opening the store, power use has been reduced by 19.4%.”

“We believe it is our responsibility to minimise the impact our business has on the environment and this initiative forms part of our overarching strategy - to build more sustainable stores and create a sustainable supply chain.”

According to the chain, once certified, KFC Lidcombe will be the 22nd LEED certified restaurant in KFC’s global network, with other locations in the United States, United Kingdom, China, Turkey, France, India, Germany and Thailand.
