Red Sea Global (RSG), the developer behind regenerative tourism destinations The Red Sea and AMAALA, announced in a press release that it has been awarded seven new LEED certifications for properties at The Red Sea, solidifying its position as a leader in developing efficient, green buildings. RSG also secured the LEED for Cities and Communities pre-certification for the AMAALA master plan. Group Chief Executive Officer at Red Sea Global John Pagano said: 'We were determined to redefine industry standards from the outset. To ensure we deliver on this ambition, our development and delivery teams work hand in hand with our sustainability team at every stage, scrutinizing design plans and collaborating during the build process, resulting in high-quality, low-impact properties.' Chief Executive Officer of the US Green Building Council (USGBC) Peter Templeton added: 'Achieving LEED certification is more than just implementing sustainable practices. It represents a commitment to making the world better and infl uencing others to do better. Given the extraordinary importance of climate protection and buildings' central role in that effort, Red Sea Global is creating a path forward through their LEED certification.'
