04 • ENVIRONMENTAL MESSAGE
Getting greener and greener together.
Our first efforts at environmental stewardship
were simple ideas, based on common sense,
but they set the stage for nearly seven decades
of forward thinking. Today we’re doing more than
ever to make Wenger Corporation more environmentally sound and
sustainable. We also actively support our customers’ efforts to
achieve their own green goals:
LEED certification process
As a member of the LEED Construction Initiative, Wenger has
the insights and experience to make the process easier for our
customers to understand and attain. We’ll also help you complete
LEED documentation requirements, including identifying and
implementing practical and measurable green building design,
construction, operations, and maintenance solutions.
USGBC adherence
A member of the U.S. Green Building Council, Wenger is
dedicated to fulfilling the green-building principles behind
the USGBC and its LEED Initiative. Once you start down
the road to LEED certification, you will be meaningfully supported
every step of the way. www.usgbc.org
FSC CoC certification
As a Forest Stewardship Council Chain-of-Custody
(CoC) operation, Wenger certified products are built with
materials tracked by FSC ® throughout our production
process, from the forest to end use and including processing,
transformation, manufacturing, and distribution. Look for the FSC
label for proof of environmental accountability. www.fsc.org
GREENGUARD certification
With the first stage of Wenger products now
GREENGUARD certified, we are committed to
working with The GREENGUARD Environmental Institute (GEI) to
continue to improve our emissions and air-quality performance. We
also look forward to certifying more products as we progress.

experience and expertise you need to achieve your own green
initiatives. Please call today and let’s get started.
