Bloomberg‘s office in Tokyo’s Marunouchi business district is the first site in Japan to receive LEED-Gold certification for a commercial interior space.

The Tokyo office of the media company that specializes in business news and information is located on the 19th floor of the highrise at 2-4-1 Marunouchi Chiyoda-Ku.

Bloomberg announced Monday that it had attained the certification under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standards developed by the U.S. Green Building Council.

“This accomplishment recognizes our commitment not only to our customers in Japan, but also to the local environment,” Bloomberg Chairman Peter T. Grauer said in a prepared statement.

“Bloomberg’s global sustainability initiative focuses on site maintenance, water usage, energy management, waste diversion, cleaning and indoor air quality. This initiative is implemented in Bloomberg offices around the world.”

Bloomberg LP has set a goal of reducing its carbon footprint by 50 percent by 2013.
