Location: Pilar, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Arcos Dorados, the largest McDonald's franchise in the world, made an impact in the business sector by inaugurating an ecological location in the Buenos Aires town of Pilar in 2010, where a wind turbine, a water reuse system and conscious drinking water consumption concepts were installed, in addition to the use of renewable and recycled materials, plus regionalized production practices.

After twelve months, the project obtained the GBCI confirmation of the LEED New Construction certificate, reaching the GOLD level, one of the highest levels within the certification scale.
Among the main achievements to get such award was the demonstration of an energy saving of 22.6% and drinking water consumption of 45%.
