The sustainability issues that our stakeholders believe we can and should make a positive difference serve as a guide for our efforts in three broad areas: expanding our product handprint, reducing our environmental footprint, and enhancing our social handprint. These interconnected issues are the focus of our ambitious sustainability goals.
From the beginning, Owens Corning’s sustainability journey has grown and evolved to become increasingly holistic. As we have come to understand the many ways sustainability manifests itself, we have been inspired to intensify our efforts to help our employees and their families get and stay healthy. It has driven us to incorporate focused Inclusion and Diversity goals, and it has led us to reinforce our leadership position among our suppliers and stakeholders — so they are empowered to continue on their own sustainability journeys.
As we continue to innovate throughout our businesses — Insulation, Roofing, and Composites — we know we must do so in a way that has the least negative impact on the planet and its people. That means ensuring that our products are engineered to be sustainable, from their development and manufacturing through their use and past their end-of-life.

To be a net-positive company, our positive impacts must far outweigh our negative impacts. We’re proud of the progress we’ve made in shrinking the negative impact of our operations, but there’s much more to do, including sourcing energy and water, reducing our air emissions, and preventing waste from ending up in the landfill.

Social Sustainability
Net-positive means more than working for a healthy planet. Our aspiration also drives our work to support healthy people and thriving communities. We recognize that with growth comes responsibility, and as a global company, we are positioned to be a force for good for the people who are touched by our company.
