GREEN BRIEF
Conserve. Create. Renew.
At LP, our approach to the environment
can be summed up with three words:
conserve, create and renew. As a leader
in the building products industry, we
view it as our responsibility to be good
stewards of the environment and to
develop and manufacture products that
help builders build better homes.
To us, “green” is about conserving
natural resources, creating products
that help builders reduce waste, and
nding ways to utilize renewable
energy sources and reduce waste
throughout our operations.
