Talking about sustainability

Minimizing carbon footprint

Our commitment to sustainable product and practices is just one of the important initiatives we continue to develop. As an industry-leading brand, why does California Closets prioritize sustainability?

At California Closets, I think we truly understand the importance of sustainability and our responsibility to the environment and to our clients.

Sustainability is not something that is fleeting or a trend, but is a mainstay of our business and for this reason we realize the need to be continuously mindful of our resources.

It is this commitment that has enabled us to work with a number of builders on various LEED® projects. This includes two large-scale LEED-certified projects in the San Francisco Bay Area, the Margarido House and the Hillside House, both of which were one of the first of their kind.

It is also from this pledge that we are constantly looking at sourcing products that have sustainable attributes. Most recently, we rolled out a comprehensive line of LED lighting, which offers an energy efficient option for illuminating a space.

Is California Closets still looking for ways to minimize its carbon footprint in the future?

One of the advantages of working with a wood product such as ours is that trees are nature’s natural way to assist in lessening the impact of climate change. What is meant by this is that trees use CO2 during photosynthesis, store this carbon and oxygen is released as a by-product. This sequestered carbon is stored until the wood is broken down at the end of its life cycle.

Also, by using products such as LED lighting in lieu of less efficient incandescent or even CFLs, we can help further reduce our energy use and carbon footprint especially when electricity is produced by coal or gas.
