CODE OF ETHICS
Our Environment, Our Neighbors, and Our Products
Environmental Stewardship
LP cares for the environment by managing the environmental footprint of our operations. LP is committed to:
Making sure that the forest resources it relies on are managed sustainably to meet the needs of today’s generation, without compromising the needs of future generations. LP strives to ensure that leading sustainable forest management practices are adopted by its producer partners across the globe.
LP has developed a comprehensive set of environmental management systems that are applied throughout the LP fiber sourcing chain.
LP has been certified since 2000. Today, 100% of fiber sourced from Canada and the U.S. is certified to SFI Standards. The fiber we source in Brazil and Chile is managed to equivalent standards, and products from LP-Chile and LP-Brazil are eligible to use LP’s SFI certified sourcing label upon entering North America. The SFI Fiber Sourcing Certification gives us and our customers the assurance we need that the independent landowners and wood producers we use are meeting the environmental management standards we demand.
Every LP employee is responsible for compliance with environmental laws as part of their employment and must be familiar with all permit and regulatory requirements that relate to their job responsibilities. LP regularly provides appropriate training, resources, support, and assistance related to compliance requirements.
Good Neighbor Commitment
Working Respectfully within Our Communities
LP exhibits responsible corporate citizenship through our charitable, educational, and cultural contributions and involvement in civic affairs.
Company Facilities are Good Neighbors
All LP facilities maintain and enhance their surroundings in a manner that is consistent with the rights of the surrounding communities. As part of our good neighbor commitment, we will not take any action to unreasonably increase the prices of our products that are being sold into communities that have suffered from natural disasters such as tornados, hurricanes, or earthquakes.
Product Quality
Making Products that Perform
At LP, manufacturing quality products is a fundamental guiding principle for all we do. We are committed to achieving quality through our inspection, testing, grading, and customer performance standards and to preparing and maintaining accurate product quality records. We will never substitute materials of inferior grade, deliberately produce products that do not meet our standards or omit required quality controls.
