Environmental Commitment | Caron Industries

Reforestation

Since 2005, between 5,000 and 10,000 trees have been planted annually: a first in the industry.

Through our partnership with Tree Canada and the American Forest Foundation, we are taking sustainable measures by planting more trees than we use. By choosing Caron, you are actively contributing to reforestation, since approximately one tree is planted for every 30 doors ordered. Wood optimization is also a priority in all our manufacturing processes, and we offer a range of eco-friendly models to meet the needs of our environmentally conscious customers.

Capturing around 48,000 metric tons of CO₂, which is equivalent to the annual emissions of more than 10,000 cars
