Sustainability Guides Us in Everything We Do

As a company founded by John Chipman, a landscape architect and outdoor enthusiast, sustainability, stewardship and a profound respect for natural spaces are deeply rooted in our company DNA.

Design, Culture and Craft — the three pillars at the core of Landscape Forms — are all backed by a strong sense of environmental accountability that drives us in every aspect of our business: product development, materials, facilities, manufacturing, supply chain, and people.

We strive to be a model for others in our industry, helping to inspire the collective action needed to preserve our planet for future generations. To do this, we partner with third-party internationally recognized experts in organizational sustainability to help us accurately understand where we’re at and where we need to go — to ensure that we’re making the best decisions on our path forward for our customers, our team members, our brands, and especially for our environment on a local and a global scale.

Making with Responsibility

Decarbonize Operations

Improve energy efficiency and implement clean energy strategies that align with the Michigan's Carbon Neutral 2050 targets.

Conserve Resources

Increase waste diversion to over 95% at all facilities and minimize material that ends up in our landfills.

Utilize the Best Materials

Prioritize materials – like sustainable and renewable wood species, recycled metals and non-toxic finishes – that are safe for people and beneficial to the planet.

Advancing Stewardship

Connect with Nature

It’s important that our team members are able to enjoy the outdoors where they work. We’re deeply committed to ensuring that the land around our facilities protects and promotes a healthy habitat with biodiverse ecosystems.

Serve Communities

We strive to celebrate John Chipman's legacy of environmentalism and positive community impact, partnering to advance knowledge, influence and diversity in the landscape architecture profession.

Build Capacity

We dedicate our resources to developing the innovative tools and practices that help create a more sustainable future for our industry.

Committing to Continuous Improvement

Sustainability is at the core of everything we do, and our journey toward a more sustainable future is just that: a journey. We believe in transparency, and we’re committed to providing clear, honest updates about this progress. Our sustainability roadmap is ongoing and ever evolving, and we're constantly looking for new ways to improve — whether through developing more efficient manufacturing processes, further reducing waste, or sourcing more sustainable materials. In all aspects of our organization, we're dedicated to making measurable, positive impacts on our environment, our customers, our team members, and our community, and we will continue evolving our strategies to realize this vision.
