MoraBanc HQ in Andorra Earns LEED Platinum, First in Country

Andorra la Vella's MoraBanc headquarters achieved LEED Platinum certification after a renovation featuring renewable energy and efficiency upgrades. The project prioritizes ESG standards and creates a modern workspace with natural light and amenities.

Key Points

  • Headquarters in Andorra la Vella received LEED Platinum from U.S. Green Building Council.
  • Renovation cut energy use by 35% and water by 50%, with renewables and LED systems.
  • Features natural light, spacious areas, and onsite Jubany restaurant for health.
  • Highlights MoraBanc's ESG commitment, led by GCA Architects and Cinc Estudio.

MoraBanc's headquarters in Andorra la Vella has received LEED Platinum certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, becoming the first building in Andorra to earn this highest international accolade for sustainability.

The certification follows an extensive renovation, finalized last year, that achieved a 35% reduction in energy use and a 50% drop in water consumption. Key elements include on-site renewable energy generation, energy-efficient LED systems, and advanced monitoring for resources.

Mireia Maestre, MoraBanc's director of ESG, Institutional Relations, and Shareholders, said the project creates a sustainable, efficient workspace tailored for employees and clients.

Local firms GCA Architects and Cinc Estudio Arquitectura led the redesign, incorporating features to boost occupant health such as abundant natural light, spacious areas, and an onsite restaurant run by Jubany, which helps make it a top-tier office environment.

The LEED—Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design—system assesses buildings on energy and water efficiency, materials, indoor environmental quality, site sustainability, and innovation. Platinum is its highest level.

This achievement underscores MoraBanc's commitment to environmental, social, and governance standards through responsible practices and investments, setting a benchmark for green building in Andorra's financial sector.
