Building For Future Generations
Empirehouse's Green Commitment
Empirehouse is proud to align its goals with supplier and manufacturer partners interested in sustainable and green initiative practices. As an aluminum door and frame fabricator, we have been ardent aluminum recyclers since our inception and before practicing sustainability and being "green" was important or in common practice. As a fabricator and installer, Empirehouse daily uses these techniques to be good stewards of the planet:
- Recycling or reuse of our packaging materials
- Recycling all scrap aluminum
- Implementing paperless office administration practices
- Meeting "virtually" with customers when possible and practical
- Using webinars for education of team members in lieu of travel to meeting locations when available
