The building products industry is changing for good, as customers, end consumers, and investors urge manufacturers to take climate action and demonstrate greater transparency. Wilsonart is proudly solving the challenges that come with change by going beyond the surface in environmental, social, and governance issues. Opportunities abound to mitigate risk, increase resilience, grow our brands — and serve our world in meaningful new ways.

Acting beyond the surface includes making the information visible that our customers, end consumers, and investors need to make wise decisions. It also entails holding our company and our supply chain accountable for meeting stakeholders’ expectations — and challenging ourselves to always keep innovating.

In our second ESG report, we cover 2021’s significant progress toward our sustainability goals and demonstrate our dedication to continual improvement in transparency. The report contains multiple firsts: We share the results of our first materiality assessment, disclose our global greenhouse gas emission metrics for the first time, and discuss our brand-new Declare label for High Pressure Laminate (HPL), Compact Laminate and Quartz products. The Declare label from the International Living Future Institute provides our customers with a quick, easy, externally validated way to see material ingredients and material health information.

With the creativity, commitment, and passion of our 4,500 Wilsonart team members, we are already putting plans into place for achieving these goals. Every employee is given the freedom and the resources to help us continuously improve our products, processes, and partnerships for the good of our stakeholders and the natural environment.

And as a company, we are committed to helping our employees thrive holistically. As the COVID-19 pandemic lingered and surged in 2021, we continued to take appropriate safety precautions while supporting employees’ mental and social health in new ways.

Looking ahead, I know we will collectively push beyond what we have accomplished in the past year to continue to deliver on our mission: surfaces you love, service you can count on, by people who care.

I appreciate your interest in Wilsonart, and I am so proud to share the positive actions we have taken and the resulting environmental, social, and governance outcomes. We have made progress on our commitments and management approaches, and we are looking ahead as we continue to build sustainability into our corporate strategy. I hope you will join us on this sustainability journey.
