Sustainability
“Integrity – one of NIBCO’s core values – is about doing the right thing. Environmental stewardship is essential to the sustainability of our future.”
- Rex Martin, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, NIBCO INC.
New technologies and improvements in construction materials and practices have increased the awareness and demand for sustainable buildings. These buildings use construction materials and methods that have little to no negative impact on the environment for future generations.
At NIBCO, we have always strived to preserve our earth's resources and maximize the use of recycled content, not only in the manufacturing processes that we use but on the corporate level as well. Today, we continue to discover new ways we can reduce, reuse and recycle in order to demonstrate our true 'Commitment to Green.'
