Commitment
        To
Safeguarding...

At Champion Window and Door, we’re committed to continuous improvement and customer satisfaction.  As a responsible corporation, manufacturing outstanding premium-quality windows and doors, we’re committed to responsibly using all resources, as well as safeguarding the communities and environments in which Champion operates.

Champion prides itself on its valuable scrap aluminum recycling systems.  Although aluminum is less than one percent of the nation’s municipal solid waste stream, it remains one of the most valuable recyclable materials.  Aluminum has a high market value and continues to provide an economic incentive to recycle.  Americans throw away enough aluminum every three months to rebuild our entire commercial air fleet.  Because aluminum lying in our landfills will still be around in 200 or more years, recycling scrap aluminum makes sense.

It almost always takes less energy to make a product from recycled materials than it does to make it from new materials.  Using recycled scrap aluminum to make new aluminum cans, for example, uses 96 percent less energy than making aluminum cans from bauxite ore, the raw material used to make aluminum.  Moreover, recycling aluminum cans reduce air and water pollution.  The use of scrap aluminum instead of bauxite ore to make new aluminum products cuts air and water pollution by 95 percent.

Champion takes a comprehensive approach to sustainability that maximizes recycling opportunities, minimizes waste and pollution, reduce consumption, employs the latest in waste management and recycling strategies, and ensures that products made by Champion are make to last.  Champion’s commitment to environmental maintenance is firmly rooted in our corporate culture, and has been since the company was established in 1952.  At Champion we recognize our responsibilities to sustain our natural resources and the environment, and will avoid wasteful or harmful disregard of the environmental effects of our operation.
