Crane Group is proud to have pursued environmental impact initiatives for more than a decade. We are, and have been, committed to protecting the Earth’s limited natural resources through the manufacturing and sales of environmentally responsible building products. Our manufacturing methods and product development strategies are designed to reduce our ecological footprint.

We do this in many ways, including water and energy conservation, reduction of emissions (especially CO2), preference for the use of renewable resources, and the reuse and recycle of our product and manufacturing residuals. Our goal is to be a sustainable group of companies.

Crane Group has grown to include several innovation-driven companies that manufacture products from a portfolio of advanced, high-performance and environmentally friendly materials, including plastics and plastic composites. In our search for product improvements and new products, Crane Group continues to explore new ideas to preserve and protect our natural resources.

We closely follow the gains made by the Green Building Initiative and the Green Building Council. These and other related building programs are a positive step forward for our industry as we search for responsible and sustainable building materials for today and tomorrow. We also support initiatives in the communities where we operate to promote awareness and adoption of sustainable building practices.
