Rockwell Automation已获得美国绿色建筑委员会的能源与环境设计（LEED）认证领导，以大大降低密尔沃基市中心地标公司总部的整体环境影响。这座210万平方英尺的建筑是威斯康星州的第二大现有结构，可从美国绿色建筑委员会获得此认证。Rockwell Automation从2001年开始投资320万美元，以升级其公司总部。LEED是该国针对高性能绿色建筑的设计，建设和运营的杰出计划。
该认可最终在Rockwell Automation总部达到了一项全面的12年可持续发展计划，其中包括联合办公室，实验室和以前的制造空间。该项目包括Rockwell Automation实施的物理改造和可持续的运营实践，以减少其公司总部的环境足迹。
罗克韦尔自动化设施经理史蒂夫·斯特佐克（Steve Strzok）表示：“现有建筑物的巨大规模是该计划的最具挑战性和有意义的方面。”“该空间的每个部分都必须满足运营和维护等级的LEED规格 - 包括室内空气质量标准，以及托管人使用的“绿色清洁”程序和产品。”
随着安装最先进的传感器激活水龙头和其他厕所固定装置，建筑物内部的水量减少了一半。罗克韦尔自动化employees also made significant strides in recycling everything from cardboard to old office refrigerators, diverting 82 percent of the facility’s solid waste from landfills in 2012. Employees were responsible for the team being awarded additional LEED points for using alternative transportation for travel to and from work, such as carpooling and bike riding. Rockwell Automation was recently awarded the 2013 Commuter Champion Award from the Wisconsin Partners for Clean Air.
环保设施的冠冕特征是其绿色屋顶 - 威斯康星州最大的私营部门屋顶 - 有助于减少加热和冷却建筑物所需的能量，并每年保留120万加仑的雨水，否则该雨水将径流进入城市下水道系统，最终进入密歇根湖。
“As the world’s largest company dedicated to industrial automation and information, one of our core missions is helping customers adopt smart, safe, sustainable manufacturing solutions,” said Jeff Wolf, manager, global workplace services at Rockwell Automation. “Sustainability is also a critical factor in our success as a socially responsible corporate citizen. We’re proud that the U.S. Green Building Council has recognized our accomplishments.”
Wolf said the company’s goal is to renew LEED EB: O&M certification for the corporate headquarters every five years, and make continuous advances in building operations and maintenance.
