Sustainability

Serving our customers

At All Weather Insulated Panels, we believe in providing the sustainable choices that today’s customers seek through our innovative digital services and energy-efficient building solutions. That’s how we empower our customers to achieve a better future for our planet.

How insulated metal panels contribute to green building certifications
While no single product contributes points or guarantees that a WELL or LEED^® credit can be earned, All Weather Insulated Panels supports qualifications and resources for sustainable building design that address WELL and LEED concerns including:

• Rainwater harvesting
• Asbestos
• Vapor management
• Greenhouse gases
• Metrics of energy cost

Insulated metal panels support the construction of the healthiest, most energy- and resource-efficient building projects that seek certification by incorporating a range of design and material choices. Even when projects don’t seek certification, pursuing the goals of green building will lead to more informed design decisions that are better for people and the planet.

Connecting our communities

Through our sustainable practices, we’re supporting the people and preserving the places across North America where we live and work.

For the greater good
Our Planet Passionate Communities initiative empowers employees to volunteer their time and energy toward park, beach and river cleanups, school supply drives and tree planting. We also participate in the Adopt-A-Highway and local food drives.

Strategies to reduce embodied carbon
Embodied carbon refers to the carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted during the construction of a building. The energy needed to extract, manufacture, transport and install materials all contribute to estimating embodied carbon levels.

All Weather is committed to reducing embodied carbon from its supply chain through strategic partnerships to incorporate materials that have lower carbon footprints. In addition, All Weather is reducing its reliance on fossil fuels operationally by integrating onsite renewable energy generation at select facilities.

All Weather supports other strategies for lowering embodied carbon across the industry, including building reuse through retrofit projects, using materials with recycled content, maximizing structural efficiency, contributing to modular construction, reducing trucks to jobsite, minimizing waste and using fewer finish materials. Even after a project reaches the end of its life, the insulated metal panels used in the original construction can be reused, which helps to reduce the environmental impact of future projects and continue to accelerate our participation in the circular economy.

Considering our impact

In pursuit of our company vision to create and retain sustainable value, we seek continuous improvement in our company-wide operations.

We’re Planet Passionate
All Weather Insulated Panels is committed to Planet Passionate, our 10-year global sustainability program dedicated to driving energy and carbon out of our business operations and supply chain while increasing our recycling of rainwater and waste and becoming more involved in the circular economy.
