Expanding our impact through sustainability is a core value at Owens Corning. From the products we make to the way that we make them, sustainability is an essential element of our business. We design innovative solutions that meet expectations of customers/markets and contribute toward addressing significant global issues such as energy conservation, environmental impact and overall quality of life. We consistently leverage our technological expertise to deliver sustainability-driven innovations to the Insulation, Roofing and Composites markets. Our insulation products enhance energy efficiency; cool roof shingles help reduce air-conditioning and power consumption; reinforced lightweight glass-composites deliver superior mechanical properties with lower environmental impact than traditional materials. Our business strategies promote innovative ways to achieve high-performing, greener and healthier products via high-efficiency manufacturing processes with reduced energy and water consumption. The discussion in this panel will highlight Owens Corningâs innovative strides throughout its core businesses, its continued commitment to robust sustainability progress in its handprint and footprint, and the companyâs significant safety improvement.
