NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LP Building Solutions (LP), a leading manufacturer of high-performance building products, is proud to announce that LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding was recognized as Green Builder Media’s Sustainable Brand Leader for the Siding category in its 2024 Brand Index. LP® Structural Solutions and LP WeatherLogic® Air & Water Barrier were awarded top 10 recognitions in the Structural and Building Wrap categories, respectively. The Brand Index looks at market trends and builder sentiment to evaluate products in the green building marketplace.
“LP is committed to the development of sustainable building products engineered to meet or exceed the needs of the building industry while reducing the carbon footprint of construction,” said LP Senior Director, Siding and Corporate Marketing Derek Blank. “We are incredibly honored to once again be ranked No. 1 in the siding industry and grateful to the building professionals who voted for us, showing their continued preference for our brand.”
The Brand Index rankings are determined using the weighted average of three factors: survey data to gauge builders’ perception of the “greenest brands,” market visibility, and sentiment data that track the number of positive brand mentions by customers.
This top ranking follows LP Smartside Trim & Siding’s 2022 Green Builder Brand Index win, a 2023 top five recognition, and the release of eight environmental product declarations (EPDs) that demonstrate the carbon negativity of all LP SmartSide and LP Structural Solutions products analyzed. The EPDs, backed by third-party verification, provide transparency into the environmental footprints of LP products across their entire life cycles.
The company’s sustainability initiatives are driven by its environmental, social and governance strategy across five core focus areas: governance, people, environment, products and communities. For over 50 years, sustainability has been inherent to LP’s business model and culture, from responsible forest management and efficient manufacturing to the way the company supports its team members and engages with communities.
