Sustainability

Mass timber’s advantages are documented and recognized by green building rating systems, including certified wood, recycled materials, responsible sourcing of materials, waste minimization, indoor air quality and biophilic lifestyle benefits.

Timber is the most natural, renewable, and sustainable building material with a lighter carbon footprint than concrete or steel. In fact, replacing concrete and steel with mass timber can reduce construction emissions by up to 69%. Mass Timber Framing also allows for taller wood structures, which helps cities lower their carbon footprint, and therefore improve the environment.

Maximizing wood use in both residential and commercial construction can potentially remove an estimated 21 million tons of C02 from the atmosphere annually – equal to taking 4.4 million cars off the road.

ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance)

Embracing the practice of ESG isn’t just a responsibility, it’s a mindset and a culture. These standards are the central factors by which a company measures the environmental and ethical impact and sustainability of its team, its partners, and its projects.

Buildings and communities constructed with mass timber are responding to ESG goals by combating climate change and providing more healthful work, live, and play spaces with measured biophilic properties and benefits.
