Transforming Our Footprint


Transforming Our Footprint

USG is proud to be approved by Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to be well below 2°C. In fact, since being approved (2023), we have reduced Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 3.7%. To meet our goals, we’re focused on our plant operations, energy infrastructure and product formulations to support our commitment in the fight against climate change.

  • Reduce Scope 1 & 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 30%
  • Reduce Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 15%

Enhance Customer Well-being

Enhance Customer Well-being

We believe thriving partnerships demand full transparency. This critical initiative enables our customers to choose sustainable products that avoid dangerous chemicals and reduce the overall impact on the environment. By 2030 we will:

  • Eliminate all LBC v4.0 Red-List chemicals by 2030.
  • Provide transparency documents for 100% of USG’s products
  • Develop innovative products that enable healthy spaces

Delivering a Circular Economy

Delivering a Circular Economy

USG believes it’s simple: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. We are building up our recycling practices with Gypsum and Ceiling ‘Takeback’ programs and have diverted over 15,000 tons from landfill in the last year. And we have already converted 25% of our manufacturing network to non-potable water usage. Our goals are clear, and we continue to invest in partnerships that will help us reach our targets to:

  • Become the recognized leader in construction job site reclaim for gypsum board and ceiling tile recycling
  • Achieve zero manufacturing waste to landfill
  • Reduce drinkable water intensity by 20%

Putting People First

The safety and well-being of our talented employees is our top priority. Our people continue to expand our material science knowledge, helping our customers create outstanding spaces worldwide.

  • We provide ongoing training and development as well as upskilling for our people.
  • We remain flexible and forward-thinking to meet customers’ needs and market demands.
  • We invest in our people, plants, and operations through generational—not quarterly—decision-making.
