July 18th, 2025 Company

As climate change continues to shape how we live, work, and build, Canadians are increasingly seeking ways to reduce their environmental impact—starting with their homes. At JELD-WEN of Canada, we believe that sustainability begins with the choices we make every day, from the materials we source to the products we design and the communities we serve.

This July, we’re proud to reflect on our journey toward a more sustainable future—and the recognition we’ve earned along the way.

ENERGY STAR® Canada Manufacturer of the Year: A Legacy of Leadership

In 2024, JELD-WEN of Canada was named Manufacturer of the Year for Fenestration Products at the ENERGY STAR® Canada Awards—our fourth consecutive win and twelfth overall. This prestigious honour, awarded by Natural Resources Canada, recognizes our leadership in energy-efficient innovation and our commitment to helping Canadians reduce their energy consumption.

Designing for Canadian Climates

Our windows and doors are engineered to meet the unique demands of Canadian weather—from the icy winds of the Prairies to the humid summers of the Maritimes. Products like our JWC8500 Series are built with:

  • Triple-pane, Low-E glass for superior insulation
  • Durable, low-maintenance frames that reduce lifecycle waste
  • ENERGY STAR® certification to ensure optimal performance

These features not only help homeowners save on energy bills but also contribute to a lower carbon footprint—one window at a time.

Sustainable Manufacturing, Close to Home

With manufacturing facilities in Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec, and distribution centers across the country, JELD-WEN of Canada is deeply rooted in the communities we serve. Our local operations allow us to:

  • Reduce transportation emissions
  • Support Canadian jobs and skilled trades
  • Ensure quality control and climate-specific product testing

We’re also working toward zero manufacturing waste to landfill, with recycling and reuse programs in place at all major facilities.

Our ESG Commitments: Built to Last

Sustainability isn’t just about products—it’s about purpose. That’s why we’ve aligned our operations with long-term environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals, including:

  • Net zero greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 & 2) by 2050
  • 100% sustainable or certified wood sourcing
  • 100% recycled or responsibly sourced materials in all product lines

These goals are part of our global strategy, but they’re being implemented right here in Canada—through innovation, accountability, and a shared vision for a healthier planet.
