Environmental Belief Statement

It is Wellborn Cabinet's corporate-wide goal to fully incorporate leading environmental practices, policies and standards throughout our enterprise - from our suppliers through final delivery to our customers. Our environmental responsibility has extended to include selecting, educating and embracing suppliers based on their commitment to similar environmental practices, including sustainable or recycled raw materials as well as low emission products where applicable.

 

ESP Certification

Wellborn endorses the industry-wide efforts and commitment of the KCMA organization and their development of their Environmental Stewardship certification program (ESP).
The ESP program provides the only standards for manufacturers in the Kitchen & Bath cabinet industry that truly defines and measures the holistic environmental performance of a manufacturing enterprise — not just its end products.


The ESP program establishes a standard, measurable benchmark for environmental performance. This certification validates our performance to adhere to high standards for
air quality, product resource management, process resource management, environmental stewardship and community relations. Wellborn, along with our affiliate operations, is
fully certified under this program. In looking to the future, Wellborn recertifies annually to incorporate new ESP industry standards and practices, such as California’s CARB Standards

 

FSC® & SFI® Certification

The Estate Custom Collection by Wellborn is certified under the Forest Stewardship Council’s (FSC) and Sustainable Forest Initiative’s (SFI) Standard for Chain of Custody Certification.


The Forest Stewardship Council™ (FSC®) FSC-C041406 is an international organization that promotes environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable management of the world’s forests. FSC Chain of Custody Certification means that a company meets strict tracking requirements for ensuring raw materials used to create a wood or paper product originated from a well managed FSC-certified forest.


The Sustainable Forest Initiative® (SFI®) program starts with a strong certification standard, and goes beyond it to improve forest practices through conservation grants, community partnerships, logger training, and landowner outreach. SFI chain of custody certification is an accounting system that tracks fiber content through production and manufacturing to the end product and allows The Estate Custom Collection to claim how much of our product comes from certified lands, how much contains recycled content, and how much is non-certified/non-controversial forest content.
