Norbord recognizes that our environment is fundamental to our existence, and that our business and the communities where we operate depend on its health. We strive for excellence, leadership, sustainability and competitive advantage – with integrity – through continual improvement in our environmental performance and management of forest land. For Norbord sustainable development means creating economic growth and caring for society and the environment, while taking into account the needs of future generations.

Today’s home buyers look to purchase or build homes that utilize products that can reduce their energy costs, improve indoor air quality and at the same time are environmentally responsible. Norbord offers products that can help meet those initiatives. Energy saving radiant barrier sheathing, structural wall sheathing that can reduce wall air leakage by 60% with less environmental impact, and SFI CoC or FSC forest certifications.

Norbord has products to help you meet your green building initiatives such as the National Green Building Standard, LEED and others. Our OSB does not contain any added urea formaldehyde resins.

Norbord OSB is exempt from CARB requirements. There are several downloadable files below from the Composite Board Association and the APA The Engineered Wood Association, regarding CARB and Formaldehyde that are informative.
