The AZEK Company - Environmental, Social & Governance - Environmental, Social & Governance

Products. People. Planet.

At AZEK, one simple, core tenet serves as a touchstone for every aspect of how we conduct business: “Always Do the Right Thing.” First, foremost and unfailingly, we do what is right. Not what is cheapest, or fastest, or easiest, but what is right.

And it’s precisely why, as part of our commitment to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) stewardship, we created an incredibly ambitious sustainability endeavor we call “FULL-CIRCLE.” This high-reaching program’s objective? To use 1 billion pounds of recycled material, annually, in the manufacturing of our products by 2026. In other words, to create goods that do good.

Products. People. Planet. These are the three critical waypoints along the arc of the circle, as we seek to revolutionize outdoor living to create a more sustainable future.

We invite you to view our 2022 FULL-CIRCLE ESG Report and learn more about our ESG journey and Full-Circle ambitions.
