At Classic Kitchens & Interiors, we believe in the importance of environmental stewardship and are pleased to work with cabinet lines that also maintain a commitment to producing high quality cabinetry that shows care for the environment. As Wood-Mode writes, “Protecting the environment is not a new idea for Wood-Mode.” They have focused on this since their founding and have been certified by the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association (KCMA) as meeting the standards for its Environmental Stewardship Program (ESP). Manufacturers who use environmentally-friendly materials and production processes are recognized through this program. Qualification for and maintenance of this certification comes through an annual evaluation and compliance in air quality, product resource management, process resource management, environmental stewardship, community relations, energy conservation and recycling programs. The Environmental Policy Statement that Wood-Mode has on their website states:

Wood-Mode, Inc. is committed to the pursuit of responsible environmental policies and practices. We believe it is important to protect the environment and conserve our natural resources by implementing responsible technologies and processes. Few if any other cabinet companies have been as consistently caring for the environment as Wood-Mode. Our pledge to our customers is to strengthen that commitment and to continuously strive to meet the following goals:

• Promote the protection and sustainability of forests and other natural resources through our suppliers.
• Pursue the inclusion of environmentally friendly products and materials into our manufacturing processes where feasible.
• Protect land, water, and air quality by complying with all environmental permits and regulations.
• Employ energy efficient technologies in our manufacturing processes where practicable.
• Promote our environmental policies and practices to our employees and the public.

Wood-Mode will strive to meet these goals and show our commitment to being a conscientious corporate citizen by working to protect our environment and conserve our natural resources.
