Champion Earns Green Seal Certification
July 21, 2009

With many door and window manufacturers putting an emphasis on the environmental friendliness of their door and window products, companies such as Champion seek third-party programs to show their commitment to environmental responsibility.

After an extensive, year-long process, Champion reports that it has earned Green Seal™ certification for its door, window and patio room products. Green Seal identifies products that are designed and manufactured in an environmentally responsible manner.
Green Seal inspectors visited Champion's Cincinnati and Denver manufacturing facilities to ensure that it met its energy efficiency and environmental standards, according to the company.

"Champion is proud that our products not only save customers money, but are also manufactured in an environmentally friendly way," says Don Jones, president and of Champion. "The Green Seal certification is evidence of our hard work and demonstrates that we want the best for the homeowners who use our products and services."

Champion says that the intent of Green Seal's environmental requirements is to reduce, to the extent technologically and economically feasible, the environmental impacts associated with the manufacture, use and disposal of products. Set on a category-by-category basis, Green Seal Environmental Standards focus on significant opportunities to reduce a product's environmental impact.
