JELD-WEN Expands Its Sustainable Doors Portfolio
In a significant move for sustainable manufacturing, JELD-WEN UK, a subsidiary of JELD-WEN Holding, Inc., recently announced the achievement of its second Cradle to Cradle Certified® product certification in 2025. This development reinforces their commitment to sustainability across Europe by expanding their range of independently verified sustainable doors.
What is Cradle to Cradle?
Cradle to Cradle Certified® is one of the highest standards globally when it comes to product sustainability. This comprehensive certification evaluates a product’s performance across various criteria including material health, circularity, climate protection, water stewardship, and social fairness. JELD-WEN's newest certified products include high-quality exterior and interior doors, further establishing their leadership in eco-friendly building solutions.
The newly certified Bronze-level products include:
- - ADVANCELINE exterior doors from Latvia
- - Interior frames from Estonia
- - High Performance doors from Denmark and Sweden
- - Stable and Compact doors also from Denmark
- - Five high-runner models from the United Kingdom
This geographic diversity across five European countries represents a key achievement for JELD-WEN, signifying the company’s dedication to merging sustainability with manufacturing excellence.
A Commitment to Innovation
Guillaume Woringer, Vice President Operations for JELD-WEN Europe, emphasized that sustainability is at the core of their product development. He expressed, "This certification is more than just recognition; it is evidence that sustainability drives every aspect of our innovation and performance. The diligent efforts of our teams have transformed sustainability into a competitive advantage for us."
As the industry prepares for upcoming regulatory standards, such as the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), compliance with rigorous Cradle to Cradle Certified® standards helps JELD-WEN ensure that their products are not connected to deforestation or forest degradation. This approach not only prepares them for future regulations but also enhances transparency and creates long-term value for customers, partners, and communities.
A Step Forward in Sustainability
Carolyn Payne, Director of Global ESG for JELD-WEN, noted, "Expanding our Cradle to Cradle certification is a monumental milestone in our sustainability journey. This achievement signals our commitment to designing products that are safe, circular, and responsibly made." The certification reflects the hard work of their global teams and their ongoing efforts to incorporate environmental and social responsibility throughout the entire value chain.
The commitment by JELD-WEN to provide sustainable and innovative solutions not only benefits their stakeholders but also contributes positively to the environment. As a company, JELD-WEN is continuously working toward its global ESG goals.
