Protecting the waterways, air quality, and soil around every facility
Environment
Manufacturing that goes beyond compliance
We work hard to minimize its ecological footprint, partly by adhering to the local anti-pollution requirements. We go beyond these requirements to minimize our environmental impact and practice transparent, responsible manufacturing.
- Contaminants in our water runoff and air emissions are kept to a tiny fraction of accepted safe thresholds.
- The Montreal operation is powered by hydroelectricity, which produces 100 times less greenhouse gas per kilowatt of power than coal.
- EPD and HPD® give full transparency into product life cycles.
- Solid and water waste are purified, reclaimed, or recycled.
Sustainable Materials
An early adopter of transparent, sustainable materials
Gardner Walker has been an early adopter of the transparency and sustainable materials movement by publishing third-party-verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) and Health Product Declarations® (HPD®) for our various product offerings made from the Montreal plant.
