A DEEPER SHADE OF GREEN

Green isn’t a buzzword here; it’s our business model, and something we take very seriously locally and globally. We’re especially proud that all of the scrap wood and sawdust from our Vermont manufacturing facilities is now used to fuel the boilers that heat those facilities, reducing the carbon footprints of both. Steam from the boilers at our Vermont sawmill also heats our wood-drying kilns, and the excess steam is used to generate electricity. At three of our plants, we recycle nearly everything; since 2010, we’ve reduced the amount of our domestic manufacturing landfill waste by more than 50%.

SUSTAINABLE FORESTRY

Our future depends on healthy, well-managed forests. Most of our lumber requirements are satisfied with American hardwood species. Because these trees regenerate naturally by seeding and by sprouts, they don’t have to be planted. In fact, natural regeneration often has to be thinned because it becomes too dense. There is approximately 82% more hardwood stock today than there was in 1952. We also work very closely with our suppliers of nonnative species, like mahogany, to ensure that the lumber we obtain has been harvested legally from properly managed forests.
