Stego Sustainability Report

ABOUT THIS REPORT

How to Use This Report

The information found in this report demonstrates Stego’s understanding, com mitments, efforts, progress, and remaining goals in positively and holistically im pacting human, environmental, and social health. Many members of the AECO community — architects, engineers, contractors, and owners — now, more than ever, share this approach to business, as well as in how they design and construct buildings. This includes making better choices with the building products used. When it comes to the below-slab vapor barrier, we believe Stego products are THE clear choice for aligning specifications and product selection with sustain ability goals.

With that said, members of the AECO community should evaluate Stego products in the context of their specific industry segments—e.g., under-slab vapor or soil gas retarders/barriers, physical termite barri ers— rather than to compare them to products from disparate segments across the building product industry as a whole. There are many shining examples of sustainability in the building product landscape, but they are often part of represented industry segments far more matured in reacting to demands, building infrastructure, and optimizing around sustainability. The below-slab vapor barrier segment is in a comparatively early phase in our understanding and progress in developing mean ingful action related to impacts across many categories. Nonetheless, continued market transformation is only possible if lead ers out front are rewarded. We hope this report reinforces how Stego stands out within our market segment. We are not only effectively protecting buildings and homes through unmatched product performance, innovation, and project team support, but leading the way in sustainability.

For consumers and other readers, we hope this report serves to bolster your interest in Stego and our products, particularly if the interest includes supporting, engaging, or seeking to be part of a responsibly minded company.
