As an industry leader with a long history of environmental thoughtfulness, sustainable design excellence and innovation, USG minimizes our environmental impact where and when ever possible. We help our customers to do the same.  Our commitment to the environment is embedded in every single one of our corporate values from safety to service to innovation.

We support our customers’ sustainable design efforts  with innovative products based on good building science.  We meet the needs of the most demanding building and design professionals, owners and tenants by consistently leading the industry in offering high performing, environmentally friendly products that create healthy, sustainable spaces.

USG has long supported sustainable design and building by emphasizing innovation  from the ingredients and resources we use to the manufacturing and recycling processes we employ.  Long before environmental responsibility became a mainstream issue, we found innovative ways to reduce and reuse waste; use water, energy and other resources more efficiently; and transform manufacturing byproducts into valuable new resources.

We are a founding member of the US Green Building Council  and the Responsible Solutions to Mold Coalition. We are a member of the Alliance for Sustainable Built Environment, an invitation-only alliance, and play a leadership role in other important organizations committed to promoting and preserving our indoor and outdoor environments.
