The Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association developed the Environmental Stewardship Program (ESP) to encourage practices that benefit the environment and society. The voluntary program gives cabinet manufacturers a way to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and helps you identify products that are better for your home, your family and the environment.
 |
ESP was launched in 2006 |
 |
ESP is the only environmental certification program that specifically focuses on kitchen and bath cabinets |
 |
Certification is awarded based on compliance in five categories: air quality, product resource management, process resource management, environmental stewardship and community relations |
 |
ESP rewards manufacturers for low formaldehyde-emitting wood products |
 |
ESP promotes use of wood from a recognized sustainable forestry program |
 |
ESP promotes ongoing education and outreach by awarding certification points to manufacturers that educate suppliers and promote community involvement |
 |
ESP requires companies to annually review their practices to safeguard the environment, track their achievements and continually seek new methods and practices |
