Sustainability
Going Beyond The Buildings
We recognize the importance of environmental preservation and the direct connection between our business and the health of our planet and communities. That’s why we are committed to reduce our environmental footprint and protect biodiversity.
Energy Efficiency
Our customers are creating homes in the houses we build with them, and that includes keeping their families safe and warm while also saving energy. We provide reliable insulation that homeowners can be proud of.
Responsible Materials
Responsible material usage is something we consider in every insulation job. The most common type of insulation we install – over 80% of our insulation sales – is fiberglass, which is comprised of an average of 50% recycled material, with some up to 80% recycled material. We also install cellulose insulation, which is comprised of at least 75% recycled waste paper.
Reducing our Carbon Footprint
As a national corporation, there is always work to be done in reducing our carbon footprint. Our products directly reduce carbon emissions through energy efficiency. As we look to the future, we are committed to impactful environmental and sustainability initiatives. These initiatives are outlined in our current ESG report.
Elevating Our Neighborhoods
We value our employees greatly and care deeply about the communities where they live and work. So, we are 100% committed to giving back to the people and communities that are the backbone of our company.
Education
Quality education builds a bright and more equitable future and we are committed to helping our employees, their families and our communities that opportunity. Our employees and their families can apply for a $5,000 renewable scholarship for education after high school including associate’s degrees, certificate and vocational programs, bachelor’s degrees as well as masters and other postgrad programs.
Employees and their families who are interested in applying are encouraged to learn more by clicking below.
Housing
Building safe and comfortable homes is our passion because we know that accessible housing is the bedrock of a thriving community. We are proud to support nonprofit organizations dedicated to building or renovating homes or providing shelter for those in need in communities throughout the U.S. Each organization that our company supports is contributing to housing initiatives in ways unique to their expertise and the needs of their community.
If you are a nonprofit organization working on housing initiatives in your community and would like to learn more about our grant process, please complete our grant prescreen questionnaire.
Strengthening Communities
We take great pride in the communities we call home. Our branches serve communities nationwide and it is imperative that we do our part to give back and make a lasting impact on those who need it most in a way that best helps our neighborhoods flourish. In addition to offering planned volunteer opportunities for our employees, we have a program that matches an employee’s nonprofit donations; and through our Dollars for Doers program, employees can volunteer with their favorite nonprofit, earning donations to match their time.
Employees are encouraged to submit their match requests at the link below.
