Carbon Footprint

For many years, JELD-WEN has enacted a strategy of minimizing how far our products travel from factory to job site. JELD-WEN windows and doors can be designed and manufactured for specific regions, frequently within a 300-mile radius of their final destinations. This localized approach helps minimize greenhouse gas emissions involved in transportation and often help a building project earn credits toward third-party green building certifications.

Part of being good stewards of the environment involves designing and constructing our buildings and production processes to use as little energy as possible. We will strive to reduce the amount of energy we must purchase to operate our plants and offices, and emphasize efficient use of energy and natural resources throughout our operations.
