Sustainability at LPL

Perhaps the strongest example of LPL’s commitment to sustainability is the design of its free-standing green buildings in Fort Mill, S.C. (known as the Carolinas campus), and San Diego, California. LPL’s Boston office is also in a LEED-certified, high-rise building in the city’s financial district downtown.
