Our commitment to the environment.
As we look for ways to reduce our overall environmental imprint we focus on the areas within USG that make the most positive impact. True reduction relies on a combination of leading experts’ current environmental concerns, internal product life cycle assessments and our over 100 years of manufacturing and building science knowledge.
Additionally, we understand that energy consumed during the manufacturing process is not the entire story. To understand the full environmental impact of our products we use life cycle analysis tools to evaluate the carbon footprint of our products from “cradle to grave”. Looking beyond our four walls allows us to consider the energy requirements associated with raw materials, transportation, end-use and the end-of-life of our products. With this more comprehensive viewpoint, we are able to make improvements in the areas with the greatest impact.
Long before environmental stewardship became a mainstream issue, USG has found innovative ways to use water and other resources more efficiently; reduce and reuse waste; and transform manufacturing byproducts into valuable new resources.
USG provides customers with the products and services to create sustainable spaces that require fewer resources to build, operate and maintain.Additional Resources
