Report details LP's resilience and
sustainability across its operations and commitment to
carbon-negative products
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 27,
2023 /CNW/ -- LP Building Solutions (LP), a leading
manufacturer of high-performance building products, today released
its 2023 Sustainability Report detailing the company's
environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance. The
company's third annual report details how a focus on resilience has
helped LP achieve key impact goals across five pillars:
Governance, People, Environment, Products and Community.
"Our history has taught us the vital role
sustainable building materials play in long-term resilience." –Brad
Southern
"Our history has taught us the vital role sustainable building
materials play in long-term resilience," said LP Chair and Chief
Executive Officer Brad
Southern. "By engineering our products for durability,
we enable customers to build more resilient homes. By harvesting
responsibly, we help promote forest resilience. By building and
developing a more diverse, engaged and highly skilled workforce, we
build a more resilient and competitive company."
As the 2023 Sustainability Report details, LP's products and
manufacturing processes are inherently sustainable. A powerful
example of this is the company's carbon-negative products. In 2023,
LP completed five environmental product declarations (EPDs) for its
Structural Solutions portfolio. Along with LP®
SmartSide® Trim & Siding, these EPDs demonstrate the
carbon negativity of LP products. For builders and homeowners
looking for durable and resilient products that also make a
positive impact on the planet, LP believes the choice is clear.
Highlights from LP's 2023 Sustainability Report include the
following:
- Ensured 100% of wood fiber was sourced through stringent forest
certification standards
- Continued to focus on renewable energy, deriving 80% of all
thermal energy used in product manufacturing from renewable
sources
- Achieved another year of strong safety performance with a
world-class total incident rate below 1.0 since 2007, winning four
safety awards, and achieving 1 million recordable-free hours
for the sixteenth time across its sites
- Enhanced workforce diversity and belonging with the
introduction of the inclusion training program Building a Better
LP
- Supported communities through the LP Foundation grant program,
reaching 130 nonprofits across the U.S. and Canada, and announced a national partnership
with the Gary Sinise Foundation's R.I.S.E. program, which builds
mortgage-free, specially adapted smart homes for America's most
severely wounded veterans using LP®
SmartSide® Trim & Siding
- Completed its ambitious plan to open LP Health and Wellness
Centers at 11 of its facilities, offering free or low-cost health
care exclusively to LP team members and their families
