Environmental Concern

Being Good Stewards

Being good stewards of the environment and local economies while remaining budget conscious can be a challenge for large institutions. The popularity of "green" construction has surged throughout the past decade, growing exponentially since the the U.S. Green Building Council first developed its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) certification system in 1998. In addition, the impetus to buy products and supplies from American manufacturers can be strong for designers, architects, builders and property managers of large institutional projects. 

Buying products made in the United States or with sustainable products can often result in a higher price tag. But that's not the case with Falcon; the balancing act between quality and budget is simplified.

Falcon operates in an environmentally responsible way, using lumber certified by the Forest Stewardship Council on all of our wood products. We also supply the highest quality recycled and environmentally friendly products, which add points to a project’s LEED® certification hopes. As far as our metal furnishings, we use recycled aluminum and steel for many of our products. Falcon produces high quality products that are built to last, avoiding environmental impacts of ‘throwaway products,’ which end up filling landfills. Moreover, our manufacturing plants are focused on reducing waste, minimizing our carbon footprint and using recycled and recyclable materials wherever possible.

In addition to being good stewards of the environment, businesses and organizations are intensely focused on appropriate fiscal management. Colleges, corporations and government entities recognize the leadership mandate to purchase products that are good financial investments. This is especially true for institutions that operate on public funds. Properly spending taxpayer dollars is among the top concerns of most university administrators. That means purchasing products that are well-built and durable.
