Jeld-Wen Holding, Inc. announced the release of its 2024 Sustainability Report, highlighting progress toward its environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals.
Jeld-Wen's goals
The report details Jeld-Wen's commitment to building a more sustainable future through innovation, operational efficiency and responsible sourcing. It outlines progress and commitments across four key pillars: products, environmental stewardship, social responsibility and governance.
"Sustainability is not just a responsibility – it is a business driver," says CEO William J. Christensen. "We are proud of the strides we have made in reducing our environmental footprint and investing in our people with a continued focus on creating lasting value."
Jeld-Wen has four sustainability commitments driving progress in both the short and long term. By 2030, Jeld-Wen aims to ensure all wood used in production is responsibly sourced and achieve a Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) of less than 1.0. In the long term, the company intends to achieve net zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions as well as sending zero manufacturing waste to landfills by 2050.
"We are embedding sustainability in every part of our business – from how we design products to how we operate our facilities," says Director of Global ESG Carolyn Payne. "As we lead the way in building a more sustainable future for our industry, we are proud of the momentum we have created and look forward to the continued progress ahead."
