Stewardship
Our Commitment to Innovation
Long-term success starts with the decisions we make every day.Since starting as a small sawmill company in 1927, we have focused on the future. This commitment to innovation has helped create a wide range of groundbreaking products for both commercial and residential use. We understand that a structure is only as strong as each part of its assembly. That’s why we offer a full suite of products to support all your building needs.
Our approach to stewardship encompasses the responsible management of our actions and the resources entrusted to our care in a manner that respects the rights of others. We seek mutually beneficial outcomes across environmental, social, and governance (ESG) priorities with customers, employees, suppliers, communities, and other key constituencies.
Long-term success starts with the decisions we make each day. That’s why we continually experiment and innovate to responsibly create more value while consuming fewer resources. It’s all made possible by thousands of individual team members who speak up, share ideas, promote safety and create mutual benefit to help people improve their lives. We also partner with thousands of philanthropic organizations to help remove barriers to opportunity, strengthen communities and empower others to achieve their full potential.

1:1 PHILOSOPHY
For every tree we use, at least one tree is grown.
SUSTAINABLE PRODUCT INNOVATION
By choosing the right materials and innovating products that help to optimize build environments, we contribute to structures that can may last longer and make optimal use of the role our products play in the carbon cycle.
Stewardship
Our approach to stewardship also includes contributing to the continued success of communities where we operate through three key focus areas – Environmental, Social and Governance.One hundred percent (100%) of the fresh fiber in our products is grown in North America where robust laws exist to protect the forest, air, water and wildlife. From responsible sourcing to mapping endangered forests, supporting wildlife conservation, fostering biodiversity, using renewable energy sources where available and reducing emissions and waste, we apply a forward-thinking mindset to how we operate.
We believe in people and seek a system of equal rights and mutual benefit, where individuals succeed by helping others succeed. Our commitment to social responsibility includes contributing to philanthropic, activism and charitable goals by supporting volunteering and responsible and ethical practices.
In addition to our internal standards and initiatives to prioritize stewardship in every aspect of our operations, we also partner with external organizations. This includes collaborating with groups such as the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI), U.S. Department of Agriculture, ECOLOGO, the UL GREENGUARD certification program and other knowledgeable resources.
