We are committed to mitigating our impact on climate change and reducing waste, energy, water and land use. From reducing GHG emissions and the energy intensity of our operations to optimizing water and material consumption in manufacturing capabilities, Cornerstone Building Brands is continually making measurable progress to build a safer tomorrow for our customers, communities and future generations.
Using the latest software platforms and robust data collection from our facilities across North America, we have set these goals to further reduce our environmental footprint in 2023:
Reduce Scopes 1 and 2 GHG Emissions and energy consumption year-over-year based on identified baseline in 2022.
Formalize water management plan for sites located within water scarcity zones.
Reduce water consumption and solid waste to landfill volume year-over-year based on identified baselines in 2022.
Identify quantitative waste reduction targets in 2024 based on year-to-date trend analyses.
Identify quantitative reduction targets for Scopes 1 and 2 GHG emissions and energy in 2024 based on year-to-date trend analyses and science-based methodology.
To help build a safer tomorrow, we consider the entire value chain of a product, including material sourcing, the energy used to power our plants and manufacture our building products, and the impacts of our packaging and freight transportation. Through this approach, we’re able to deploy energy conservation strategies to allow us to achieve our target GHG emissions and reduce the carbon footprint of our fleet.
Building a safer tomorrow requires careful stewardship of natural resources today. We are on a journey of continuous improvement, ensuring that we comply with environmental regulations and requirements while developing new programs and strategies. Our areas of focus include waste diversion and product circularity programs, reducing how much water and materials we use and responsible sourcing and securing of supplies.
