Jeld-Wen expands Environmental Product Declarations

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Jeld-Wen Holding, Inc., a global manufacturer of building products, has expanded its portfolio of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), reinforcing the company's commitment to sustainability transparency and enabling customers to make more informed, responsible building decisions.

The expanded portfolio includes newly released, third-party verified EPDs across a broad range of product categories in both North America and Europe, including vinyl and wood windows, interior doors, exterior doorsets, and other building solutions. These disclosures provide standardized, independently verified data on environmental impacts across a product's full life cycle—from raw material sourcing to manufacturing, use, and end-of-life considerations.

"As demand grows for credible, data-driven sustainability insights, we are focused on equipping our customers with the information they need to make confident product choices," said Carolyn Payne, Director of Global ESG. "Expanding our EPD portfolio is an important step in advancing transparency, supporting green building efforts and demonstrating the measurable impact of our products across their full life cycle."

EPDs play a critical role in supporting green building certifications such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Nachhaltiges Bauen (DGNB), offering architects, builders, and designers a trusted and comparable data source for evaluating materials and selecting lower-impact solutions.

By increasing access to these disclosures, Jeld-Wen supports a growing focus on Scope 3 emissions and helps customers better assess factors such as carbon footprint, material composition, energy use and overall environmental performance.

"Transparency is foundational to building trust with our customers and partners," Payne added. "By continuing to expand our EPD coverage, we are not only meeting evolving market expectations but also helping drive progress toward a lower-carbon, more sustainable built environment."
