Our Sustainability Commitment

Wolf-Gordon integrates our sustainability goals into all aspects of our product development and operations. We are guided by the holistic approach to sustainability presented by the Common Materials Framework and work closely with our partner mills to improve our products and practices along the axes of wellness and sustainability.

Product Transparency

As a designer and distributor of interior finishes, Wolf-Gordon consistently works with our partner mills to increase their sustainability efforts and transparency. We see these disclosures as vital not because they “prove” sustainability, but because they empower specifiers to make informed decisions.

Health Product Declarations—We have provided HPDs for our products for over a decade. In service of human health, we have worked with our partner mills to disclose as much content in their products as possible. You can filter for products with HPDs under the "Sustainability" navigation of this website. We currently have HPDs for about 96% of our vinyl wallcoverings, all of our CLAIR® PVC-free wallcoverings, all RAMPART and RAMPART Resolve® wall protection, 35% of upholstery textiles, and all of our Scuffmaster® paint finishes.

Environmental Product Declarations—In support of the ecosystem and transparency on carbon expenditure, we provide industry-wide EPDs for about 79% of our Type II wallcoverings. (EPDs and California Department of Public Health declarations for our products are available on request.)

Social Health & Equity—Wolf-Gordon works closely with suppliers to ensure that our supply chains are devoid of forced labor, child labor, and use of conflict minerals. The majority of our wallcovering products and many of our upholstery textiles are made in the USA, and we expect our non-USA based upholstery manufacturers to conform to the same labor standards.

LEARN MORE ABOUT HPDS AND EPDS

Wolf-Gordon seeks out sustainability certifications and standards—whenever possible and practical—to ensure that our products are being objectively held to high standards of sustainability.

Whenever possible, Wolf-Gordon seeks out third-party certifications, especially regarding environmental and climate health, human health, and circular economy.

Where third-party certification is not practical, Wolf-Gordon still holds products to industry sustainability standards.

Because Wolf-Gordon holds products to high sustainability standards, many of our interior finishes can contribute to earning LEED credits. For the most current LEED data for any individual product, please contact [email protected].

To locate products that conform to any of the above standards, as well as those that contain recycled content or are Made in the USA, use the Sustainability filters on this website listed under each product category.

Our Carbon Neutrality Pledge

In the interest of climate health, Wolf-Gordon has pledged to be carbon neutral by 2050. We chose this year to align ourselves with the goals set forth by the 2015 Paris Climate Accords.

In 2023, we took the first steps towards this goal via a third-party audit of our company’s carbon footprint. We are currently using the data to create aggressive strategies to reduce our energy use, which are stepped up year over year.

Wolf-Gordon's system for packing and shipping samples is carbon-neutral; all carbon dioxide emissions related to sending samples are calculated and offset.

Sustainable Products

Above all, Wolf-Gordon prides itself on being an innovative American design company. We develop beautiful products that serve the aesthetic and performance needs of our specifiers while being conscious of selecting materials that are safe and beneficial to humans and the environment. This desire to create innovative interior products has led us to pioneer several alternative, and more sustainable, wall and upholstery materials.

CLAIR® PVC Free Wallcovering
CLAIR® PVC Free Wallcovering

We were first to market with a PVC-free contract wallcovering that meets or exceeds all Type II performance standards. The Best of NeoCon Gold CLAIR® collection offers a growing array of unique patterns, textures, and colorways, which are bleach cleanable.

RAMPART Resolve®
RAMPART Resolve®

To complement our popular RAMPART® wall protection, RAMPART Resolve® is a PVC-free alternative that meets the performance standards of rigid sheet goods. It’s flexible enough to wrap corners, impact- and stain-resistant, and easy to install and clean.

RAMPART Stronghold®
RAMPART Stronghold®

RAMPART Stronghold®, a wall liner made of natural jute and gypsum, transforms irregular surfaces such as CMU into smooth walls for applying RAMPART, eliminating the need to demolish and remove existing wall substrates that would otherwise be sent to landfills.

Cork Wallcovering and Upholstery
Cork Wallcovering and Upholstery

One of the most sustainable natural materials, our cork wallcovering and upholstery textiles are made from cork bark that regenerates. Processed without chemicals, the hypo-allergenic and mildew-resistant material is high-performing and has the feel of soft leather.

Wood Veneer Wallcoverings
Wood Veneer Wallcoverings

Made in the USA, our wood veneer wallcoverings are constructed with lumber harvested from sustainably managed forests, and conform to the requirements of the Healthier Hospitals initiative. Prefinished panels in a wide range of species are available and FSC traceable on request.

GATHER® Acoustical
GATHER® Acoustical

Made from recycled PET, GATHER panels combine high NRC noise control with striking design. The low VOC material has an HPD, is certified Red List Free, and earned the Declare® label. GATHER techniques include precision cutting, engraving, dimensional weaving and folding, and digital printing.
