Johns Manville (JM) has embedded sustainability into the company’s decision-making and strategic-planning processes through the use of tools that compare sustainability attributes of potential projects and actions and through teams that help ensure a continuous focus on sustainability. We always strive to minimize the adverse impact of the materials we use, the products we manufacture, and the processes we use to produce them.
The JM Sustainability Council provides leadership to ensure the company creates and executes an integrated and coordinated set of company-level and business-unit-level strategies for sustainability. Additionally, under the direction of the Council, a team of business and functional members are responsible for the development of the annual sustainability report content, including tracking of metrics and coordination with subject matter experts.

the company has committed to:
- achieving and maintaining sustainable operations
