JELD-WEN’s goal is to be the industry leader in environmentally responsible practices and products and to conduct our business in a manner that is environmentally sustainable, demonstrates environmental stewardship and provides our customers with environmentally beneficial products. Toward that end, we will pursue processes that are designed to minimize waste, maximize efficient utilization of materials and conserve resources, and we will provide our customers with products that are long-lasting with excellent performance.
JELD-WEN believes that a healthy environment is not only complementary, but critical to a healthy business. Our mission is to develop high-performance, high-value products and satisfy our customers' total needs. We will conduct our business with the highest ethical standards, strive for excellence in all we do, and measure success by the relationships we build in the communities where we live and work. To be a successful, unique, progressive, world-class company and live up to our mission statement, we must minimize our impact on environmental resources and consistently "walk softly on the land." JELD-WEN is committed to environmentally responsible practices and contributing to the sustainability and health of the communities where we operate, not because others expect it, but because it is the right thing to do.
It has been a goal of our company from its beginning to conserve valuable resources in all aspects of our production. Our manufacturing process utilizes recycled waste materials. We manufacture close to markets to minimize fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. We design and produce long-lasting, energy-saving windows and doors, and we utilize environmentally sustainable development and management practices for our resort communities. In all our operations around the world, we strive to maintain and continually improve our environmental performance.
We believe it is not enough for JELD-WEN management to establish values and set goals related to our commitment to being an environmentally sustainable business. These values are shared and acted upon at every level of the company. We know the importance of our employees sharing our commitment and we strive to recruit, educate and train our employees in these values on an ongoing basis throughout their careers with us.
