Is Here To Stay

Mass Timber Is The Answer. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions, waste, and pollution in the building sector. Choose wood.

HALF A TON OF CO2 is emitted for every ton of concrete produced. TWO TONS OF CO2 are emitted to manufacture a ton of steel.
Wood products have less embodied carbon (which is carbon emitted to make a product during material harvesting, transportation, processing, etc.). One cubic meter of CLT wood sequesters over a ton of CO2. That carbon is kept out of the atmosphere for the lifetime of the structure and in some cases forever.
Mass timber is green from the start. Sustainable forestry and logging operations produce less waste and are far less destructive to the environment than traditional material manufacturing processes.
Most lifecycle analysis classifies wood supply as carbon-neutral.
11% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from construction. 28% come from building operations.
A commercial building constructed with mass timber materials represents a 26% reduction in its global warming potential.

Source our raw materials from sustainable and responsibly managed forests.
Actively protect the air and water near our manufacturing sites.
Use bark and material residuals created during manufacturing as biomass fuel, which replaces 75% of the energy used at our manufacturing locations that would otherwise come from the electrical grid..
Prioritize compliance with all applicable environmental laws and regulations.
Study the environmental effects of our raw materials, products, processes, and emissions.
Seek to continually improve our environmental management systems.
We truly care about relationships with our teammates, customers, suppliers, shareholders, and the communities where we operate.
