Carlisle Receives First-Ever LEED Platinum v4 Certification in North America
Carlisle Companies Incorporated (NYSE:CSL) announced that its Sikeston, Missouri facility received the first-ever LEED Platinum v4 certification in North America for a manufacturing facility. The facility delivers a 38% improvement in building performance while generating over 10% of its energy used through renewable solar power. The company's commitment to Vision 2030 sustainability objectives is evident in this investment, showcasing its dedication to manufacturing energy-efficient products, reducing operational emissions, and diverting landfill waste. Carlisle's focus on providing innovative, energy-efficient building products and solutions to the commercial and residential construction markets is highlighted through the utilization of products like Sure-Weld® EXTRA TPO White Roofing Membrane, SecurShield® HD Composite Polyiso Insulation, and Barrithane™ Air and Vapor Barriers in the construction of this LEED Platinum v4 certified manufacturing facility.
Carlisle Companies Incorporated's recent LEED Platinum v4 certification for their Sikeston, Missouri manufacturing facility underscores a significant stride in sustainable building practices. The LEED Platinum v4 is a highly coveted designation, indicative of superior energy efficiency and environmental design. A 38% improvement in building performance is substantial, considering that buildings are a major contributor to CO2 emissions in the U.S. This performance leap, coupled with the generation of over 10% of the facility's energy through solar power, demonstrates a tangible commitment to reducing operational emissions.
From a sustainability perspective, this move aligns with broader market trends where investors are increasingly factoring environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria into their decision-making processes. Companies that proactively address sustainability concerns are likely to benefit from enhanced investor perception and potential cost savings from energy efficiency. Furthermore, the restoration of wetlands showcases a holistic approach to sustainability, extending beyond the facility's walls and addressing biodiversity and community impact.
The achievement of the LEED Platinum v4 certification by Carlisle's facility not only marks a milestone for the company but also sets a precedent in the manufacturing sector in North America. As the first to receive such a high level of LEED certification, Carlisle may gain a competitive advantage in the construction materials market. The use of their own products, like the Sure-Weld® EXTRA TPO White Roofing Membrane and SecurShield® HD Composite Polyiso Insulation, in achieving this certification, serves as a live case study, potentially enhancing the marketability and perceived value of these products.
Businesses and consumers are increasingly aware of the importance of sustainability, which may drive demand for energy-efficient products. Carlisle's demonstration of these products' effectiveness in a real-world application could influence purchasing decisions and position the company as a leader in sustainable building solutions. This could have positive implications for Carlisle's market share and brand reputation in the long term.
The financial implications of Carlisle's investment in a LEED Platinum v4 certified facility are multifaceted. On one hand, the initial capital expenditure for such high standards of sustainability may be significant. However, the long-term operational savings from energy efficiency and the potential for increased sales due to enhanced brand reputation could offset these costs. Moreover, the facility's energy savings and reduced carbon footprint may qualify Carlisle for various tax credits and incentives, positively impacting their financial statements.
Investors will likely view this development favorably, as it aligns with the growing trend of sustainable investing. The commitment to Vision 2030 sustainability objectives may also signal to investors that Carlisle is future-proofing its operations against potential regulatory changes and increasing energy prices. This forward-thinking approach could be indicative of strong management and a robust strategic plan, potentially leading to positive stock performance as investor confidence grows.

Sikeston, Missouri facility delivers up to a 38% improvement in building performance while generating over 10% of its energy used through renewable solar power
Investment demonstrates Carlisle’s commitment to Vision 2030 sustainability objectives to manufacture energy-efficient products, reduce operational emissions, and divert landfill waste
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. --(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Carlisle Companies Incorporated (NYSE:CSL), a leading supplier of innovative energy-efficient and labor saving building products and solutions, today announced that its newest polyiso manufacturing facility in Sikeston, Missouri received the first-ever LEED Platinum v4 certification in North America for a manufacturing facility. The LEED Platinum v4 certification is the highest standard for building energy efficiency designated by the U.S. Green Building Council.
Carlisle’s LEED Platinum v4 certified facility delivers a 38% improvement in building performance through energy simulation modeling while generating over 10% of energy used (by cost) through renewable solar power. The facility also promotes employee well-being, productivity and team communication through the use of highly engineered acoustical treatments to the roof, walls, windows, doors and ceilings to reduce reverberation and sound transmission. Additionally, over 25% of the wetlands surrounding the manufacturing plant were restored with native plantings as a part of the project, reducing development impact on wildlife and people.
“Our state-of-the-art Sikeston plant exemplifies Carlisle’s commitment to achieving our operational emissions reduction goals within our sustainability strategy,” said Chris Koch, Carlisle’s Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our recently announced Vision 2030 strategic plan highlights Carlisle’s focus on providing innovative, energy-efficient building products and solutions to the commercial and residential construction markets. Carlisle products such as Sure-Weld® EXTRA TPO White Roofing Membrane, SecurShield® HD Composite Polyiso Insulation, and our Barrithane™ Air and Vapor Barriers, were all utilized in the construction of this first of its kind, LEED Platinum v4 certified manufacturing facility.”
LEED, or Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design, is a globally recognized symbol of excellence in green building. LEED certification ensures electricity cost savings, lower carbon emissions and healthier environments where people live, work, learn, play and worship. In the United States alone, buildings account for almost 40 percent of global CO2 emissions, and LEED-certified buildings aim to lower CO2 emissions, consume less energy and water, and divert waste from landfills.
“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 of the U.S. Green Building Council. “Given the extraordinary importance of climate protection and the central role buildings play in that effort, Carlisle is creating a path forward through their LEED certification.”
