Environmental Sustainability

[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” down=”10″ up=”1″][vc_column_text]

W.C. Heritage is committed to the protection of our environmental sustainability during the design, manufacturing and installation of our custom made shutters and blinds. One goal is to reduce deforestation and cut down on the carbon footprint output of products. That is why W.C. Heritage custom made wood shutters are made and acquired by United States Department of Forestry and United States Department of Energy Suppliers and Timber suppliers that adhere to the “Sustainability Forestry Initiative” that approved to log in Federally approved areas certified by the U.S. Forestry Department.

The goal of the W.C. Heritage Shutter and Blind Environmental Sustainability program is to promote sustainable engineered systems that support human well-being and that are also compatible with sustaining natural (environmental) systems. These systems provide ecological services vital for human survival.

W.C. Heritage doesn’t only believe in environmental sustainability; we practice it. Our entire Supply Chain Eco-system is comprised of partners and suppliers that have implemented to our environmental commitment.
