Marvin has a genuine appreciation for the critical role forests play in the quality of life within the global ecosystems.
We continue to support sustainable forestry management and are committed to conserving natural resources, including efforts to preserve old growth and ancient rain forests.
This commitment is reflected in our actions:
- Marvin utilizes pine in the manufacture of wood windows and patio doors, a resource not associated with rainforests.
- Marvin purchases from reliable raw lumber suppliers with sound forest management practices, which subscribe to the Sustainable Forest Initiative (SFI) promoting good forest stewardship.
- Marvin is a Charter Member of the Forest Products Management and Development Institute at the University of Minnesota.
- Marvin recycles and reuses wood by finger-jointing and edge gluing scrap material to form usable pieces and utilize wood shavings to heat its Warroad facility.
- For nearly a decade, Marvin has actively participated in forest management education programs, including the distribution of more than 4,000 tree seedlings to employees and surrounding communities each year.
Marvin supports the WDMA Green Task Force Statement of Beliefs.
