Our Goals & Progress
Our Goals6
2025: 149,619 (20% improvement)
Manufacturing Waste to Landfill by 2050
Waste to Landfill (metric tons)
Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) Less Than 1.0 by 2030 Rate of recordable incidents across the organization
Net zero means achieving balance between the amount of GHG we produce and the amount that we remove from the atmosphere. Scope 1 emissions are direct emissions from our owned or controlled sources, such as forklifts, trucks and natural gas boilers. Scope 2 emissions are indirect emissions from sources such as purchased electricity.
How do we define the goal?
Sending zero manufacturing waste to landfills means diverting all byproducts of our manufacturing processes and packaging away from landfills, with an emphasis on reuse or recycling.
How do we define the goal?
Following U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidance, the total recordable incident rate corresponds to: Number of OSHA recordable injuries and illnesses x 200,000/Employee total hours worked.
How do we define the goal?
100% of our wood used in production is certified by a recognized third party or not from a region of risk by 2030.

Actions and Outcomes
Product Highlights
As we design and manufacture durable, sustainable windows and doors, we remain focused on delivering products that are better equipped to perform in a changing climate while reducing our environmental footprint and supporting the communities we serve.
Energy efficiency: The JWC7500 Series Hybrid window represents one our most energy-efficient offering to date. Available in Canada, this advanced product combines state-of-the-art materials with innovative design to deliver exceptional thermal performance. The JWC7500 Series Hybrid window achieves a U-factor of .14, which is 22 percent more efficient than our traditional casement window, as verified by testing standards NFRC 100 and NFRC 200. Highperformance windows like the JWC7500 play a critical role in lowering greenhouse gas emissions, reducing energy costs and advancing progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)8
Circular economy: In 2025, JELD-WEN expanded its version 4.0 Cradle to Cradle Certified® portfolio across five European countries, adding Bronze-level interior and exterior door products. These certifications ensure our doors are designed for safe reuse and support a more circular economy through responsible materials and lifecycle-focused manufacturing9 For more information, see Innovation & Circular Economy
Innovation and green design: The Curator™ Collection reframes what a fiberglass door can be by reinventing how it is made. At the heart of the platform is JELD-WEN’s proprietary FortiTec™ assembly, a single-step press operation that permanently bonds advanced fiberglass skins, a rigid fireproof core cut to size to eliminate voids, LSL stiles and AuraLast® pine rails into one monolithic slab. This approach replaces the industry’s conventional multi-step manufacturing process, which typically relies on injected foam that must cure over time and can result in air pockets or unfilled voids. By consolidating construction into one integrated step, Curator addresses the root causes of warping and delamination and delivers a consistently solid door system with enhanced structural integrity. The process yields the look of ultra-realistic wood grain produced using a metal dye, cast directly from an authentic wood door, along with protection you can count on through impact and 20-minute fire ratings that are standard across the collection.
Just as importantly, the one-step FortiTec™ assembly is designed to improve manufacturing efficiency and reduce energy use. This single-step process reduces electricity consumption by over 40% per door compared to our existing multi-step process10. Eliminating steps reduces time spent in energy-intensive heating and dwell stages. Additionally, fewer handoffs help minimize inventory, scrap and additional production passes. By engineering the door as a complete system from the start, rather than layering performance features through separate manufacturing stages, more energy is directed toward first-pass quality The result is innovation with a focus on consumer and sustainability benefits: products built with quality in mind; produced through a streamlined manufacturing approach intentionally designed to reduce energy consumption.
ENVIRONMENTAL
Environmental stewardship is a key part of who we are at JELD-WEN. We are committed to carrying on this legacy for the next generation by conserving resources, promoting sustainability and building healthier environments.
JELD-WEN’s environmental program is designed to manage environmental risks and opportunities across our value chain while supporting customers with durable, energy-saving building products.
In 2025, we saw progress against our net zero GHG emission goal and have reduced our emissions by 20 percent since 2021. Similarly, we have reduced our waste to landfill by 45 percent since 2021 We believe this progress reflects our commitment to embed environmental sustainability into all aspects of our business, increased efficiencies in our network, and site and regional initiatives. Our approach and key actions toward our goals are discussed on subsequent pages.
Compliance with environmental regulations is an important aspect of our approach to environmental sustainability. The geographic breadth of our facilities and the nature of our operations subject us to extensive environmental, health and safety laws and regulations in jurisdictions throughout the world. At the center of our environmental management efforts is our Environmental, Health & Safety (EH&S) Excellence Program. See more in Health & Safety

Transitioning for Climate Mitigation
We continue to advance our climate mitigation efforts by measuring and reducing our GHG emissions, implementing renewable energy solutions and pursuing efficiency projects across our operations. These are the core elements of our net zero roadmap.
Climate & Energy
Actions and Outcomes
In 2025, we continued to advance energy efficiency across our global operations by applying proven approaches that reduce energy demand, lower emissions and improve operational performance. These efforts include facility-wide efficiency upgrades, optimization of manufacturing equipment, and the use of monitoring and data analytics to identify and address energy-intensive processes Further, by consolidating our network, we are increasing manufacturing efficiencies.
Sixteen of our sites maintain biomass boilers. This alternative, renewable energy solution, compared to a conventional boiler, advances our commitment to achieving our net zero goal.
Designing for Energy Reduction
Our Curator™ Collection demonstrates how manufacturing innovation can reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions within our operations. By redesigning the fiberglass door manufacturing process to be more energy efficient, the project significantly lowers electricity demand per unit through reduced press heating requirements, shorter cycle times, and more efficient use of motors and auxiliary equipment. Compared to a traditional manufacturing line, the Curator Collection manufacturing process reduces electricity consumption per door by more than 40 percent10, which directly translates into a comparable reduction in Scope 2 GHG emissions during manufacturing. These improvements not only decrease the operational carbon intensity in the manufacturing facility, but also enhance process efficiency and resilience, reinforcing our commitment to decarbonizing manufacturing while supporting scalable production growth.
Our partnership with the University of Florida’s Rinker School of Construction Management on new fenestration testing sites is helping us better understand how windows and doors perform in real-world climate conditions, supporting smarter energy-efficient product design.

Waste & Hazardous Materials
Our approach to waste and hazardous materials is based on five pillars: waste reduction, hazardous materials management, product stewardship, compliance and continuous improvement. Our waste management standard, which is posted on our company intranet, guides our activities.
Strict guidelines for the handling and disposal of hazardous materials help ensure the safety of our employees, customers and the environment. Site-level training in waste and hazardous material handling includes employee safety training and legal compliance with regulations governing the handling, storage and disposal of waste and hazardous materials, and risk mitigation programs to identify and address potential risks.
We follow the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) waste hierarchy13 to manage our non-hazardous waste streams.
Recycling to Reduce Waste Recycling is a key strategy to help us achieve our waste reduction goals. In 2025, we diverted14 56 percent of our nonhazardous waste, which corresponds to 92,292 metric tons.
Several of our sites are zero waste to landfill, including our Spokane, Washington, and Penrith, U.K., facilities. By sharing best practices and finding innovative ways to reuse waste, we are working toward our 2050 goal.
“The Penrith team found that plastic banding was difficult to separate from other waste, so by sorting waste into designated bins, plastic pieces were able to be removed and recycled or reused. A similar assessment found that ash from biomass boilers, a byproduct of the manufacturing process, could be diverted from landfill and recycled as a component of tarmac and used for paving roads.”
Hamish White Operations Director, JELD-WEN Europe
Air Quality, Water Resources, Biodiversity & Ecosystems
We take an integrated approach to environmental stewardship grounded in strong environmental management practices that guide how we operate across our facilities. By considering our interactions with air, water and surrounding ecosystems together, we work to minimize impacts, strengthen resilience and support healthier natural systems. This holistic perspective ensures our actions align with regulatory expectations and our long-term commitment to safeguarding the environments and communities connected to our operations. At the center of our environmental management efforts is our Environmental, Health & Safety (EH&S) Excellence Program. Its four pillars — People, Prevention, Process and Culture — are key to sustainable operations.
Reducing Air Emissions
Common sources of air emissions in our facilities include paint, adhesives and glues. Our sites maintain permits to comply with air pollutant and hazardous air pollutant thresholds. Industry best practices and local regulatory laws guide our emission control technology. Our Kuopio, Finland, facility decreased VOC emissions by installing UV and water-based paint lines in 2025 that reduced solvent-based paint consumption by more than 30 percent.
For additional information on VOC emission reductions, see Product Quality and Safety
Water Resources
Reducing water consumption is important, especially in areas of high baseline water stress. For additional information on water risks, see TCFD Index Each of our Cradle to Cradle® facilities has a site-specific strategy to reduce water consumption through 2026. The strategies were developed after we assessed water quality and quantity issues at our production facilities and in our supply chain as well as identified key opportunities for water stewardship.
Biodiversity & Ecosystems
We continue to assess our biodiversity impacts using screening tools such as the Integrated Biodiversity Assessment Tool (IBAT). See more about commitment to maintaining biodiversity in our Global Wood Sourcing Policy Statement and the JELD-WEN Supplier Code of Conduct.
SOCIAL
Our commitment to investing in people centers on building the skills, leadership and inclusive culture that enable our associates to succeed and grow. Rooted in our values and shaped by our double materiality assessment, this approach reflects a legacy that extends from our family-owned origins to our global operations today, with a focus on safety, development and belonging.
In 2025, we achieved a 21 percent improvement in our total recordable incident rate (TRIR) compared to 2024, driven by strong leadership engagement, a continued emphasis on safety culture across our operations, and targeted actions such as global serious injuries and fatalities (SIF) risk assessments, equipment upgrades, pre-start safety reviews, and ongoing training and standards enhancements. Progress in leading indicators — including a 47 percent reduction in potential SIFs from 2024 to 2025 and a 33 percent increase in safety observations reported in 2025 compared to 2024 — further demonstrates our continued focus on embedding safety as a core value throughout JELD-WEN

The platform includes thousands of courses covering areas such as functional health and safety, skill development, and softer competencies like inclusive leadership.
Our excel@leadership program, which launched in 2021, has become a core development platform for middle managers across Europe. Supported by a train-thetrainer model, the program’s 12-week format continues to strengthen leadership effectiveness, enhance safety leadership behaviors, and equip leaders to manage performance and change.
Our Leader Alignment training, which launched in 2024, continues to make strides in standardizing leadership skills globally, reinforcing JELD-WEN’s values and establishing a clear pathway for capability building.
Our efforts to support the development of production employees continue, including through training and learning initiatives that enable plant managers to integrate valuesbased messaging with practical skill development.
Internal Mobility
JELD-WEN focuses on developing our employees to prepare them for future roles within the company. In 2025, 23 percent of executive, professional, and management positions16 were filled by internal candidates.
“ A strong company is built by investing in its people. We are committed to creating an environment where individuals can build skills, explore new opportunities, and grow in ways that are meaningful to them.”
Wendy Livingston, EVP & Chief Human Resources Officer
Internships and Apprenticeships
JELD-WEN focuses on developing young professionals who will continue to strengthen the manufacturing industry. Our U.S. internship program offers a 10-week experience across corporate functions as well as operations. In Europe, apprenticeships last up to five years, tailored to each country’s training needs, preparing professionals for success.
Measuring Employee Performance
Employees receive an annual performance review, with processes tailored according to the specific region of each local facility. Performance tracking is conducted through our HR system for those in executive, management, professional and support career tracks.
These employees engage in JELD-WEN’s Performance Management Program, a collaborative initiative aimed at enhancing employee performance throughout the year and pinpointing growth and development opportunities. The program encompasses three primary phases: performance evaluation, goal setting, and development planning. Employees within the support, manager, professional and executive categories16 participated in the 2025 performance management process. Additionally, production associates have a distinct, customized review process designed to foster their development and growth. The performance review process for the company’s executive officers is described in our 2026 Proxy Statement
Measuring Engagement
For several years, JELD-WEN used an Organizational Health Index (OHI) survey to support our transformation journey. In 2026, we launched a new Employee Engagement Survey. An important advancement in how we listen and understand our employees’ experiences, the engagement survey is strengthening ownership and accountability through online action planning tools that support team collaboration.
With approximately 8,500 responses, both full and part-time employees provided insights into our values-based culture. Based on survey results, approximately 85% of employees understand how their work contributes to company goals — well above industry benchmarks — and have a clear understanding of their work expectations

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Our Approach
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) is key to our global culture and driven by five values: build businesses ethically and safely, invest in people, inspire customers through innovation, deliver on our promises, and improve every day. At the highest level, we are committed to:
– Demonstrating leadership commitment and accountability that fosters an inclusive culture, allowing associates to feel connected to JELD-WEN’s purpose and values while enabling them to reach their full potential
– Building and maintaining a qualified, diverse talent pipeline that creates a highperforming workforce representative of the markets where JELD-WEN operates
– Promoting a diverse supplier ecosystem that drives competitiveness and innovation
JELD-WEN values an engaged workforce for a competitive edge. We encourage diverse contributions, authentic discussions and challenging the status quo. Our leaders promote these aims and support mentoring programs, Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), and an open-door policy for sharing ideas and concerns about company culture and strategy.
We define Diversity, Equity & Inclusion as follows:
Diversity
Our diverse associates, suppliers and customers bring unique perspectives and ideas. We aim to help our leaders and associates appreciate these differences as our organization grows.
Equity
Proportional representation focuses on fairness. Equity acknowledges that everyone starts from different points in life, society, education or career. At JELD-WEN, we aim to understand the necessary access or accommodations to ensure equity across teams and individuals.
Inclusion
Creating an environment that is respectful, collaborative and supportive encourages the participation and belonging of all employees. Developing an inclusive environment requires conscious effort and consideration from everyone involved. It is important to ensure all voices are heard, ideas are shared and associates are valued.
Actions and Outcomes
We commit to an inclusive culture from recruitment through our associates’ career journeys.
Employee Resource Groups
Our six ERGs represent our diverse workforce and are vital to our transformation journey. They promote inclusion and awareness, ensuring all employees are heard, celebrated and supported. ERGs foster communication and sharing, helping us value the benefits of diversity.
Recruiting Diverse Talent
At JELD-WEN, we believe diversity — in backgrounds, experiences, perspectives and problem-solving approaches — is essential to our long-term success. As an equalopportunity employer, we are committed to attracting, hiring and developing qualified candidates who bring a broad range of viewpoints to our organization. Our recruitment strategy emphasizes cognitive diversity and inclusive hiring practices across all levels, from early-career roles to senior leadership.
We recruit from a broad network of colleges, universities and professional organizations to strengthen our talent pipeline and welcome individuals with varied academic disciplines, lived experiences and career paths. We are dedicated to creating an environment where every employee feels valued, respected, and empowered to contribute, reinforcing our commitment to an inclusive culture and a resilient, innovative workforce.
In Europe, we have a focus on trade schools and work-study programs. Encouraging women to pursue manufacturing careers is
also a priority. We recruit from regional women’s colleges and collaborate with universities in Germany and Denmark on apprenticeship programs to support female students in exploring manufacturing careers.
Pay Equity
Equitable practices are essential for an inclusive environment. We aim to provide equal pay for equal work, based on skills and accountability, not gender or race.
JELD-WEN evaluates internal pay equity annually to help ensure workplace equity and fair compensation. Market salary range reviews are designed to maintain competitiveness, while internal pay reviews are designed to ensure equitable compensation across different jobs.
DE&I Training
Employees have access to more than 400 DE&I courses in more than 17 languages on the LMS platform. Unconscious bias training is provided, and in Europe, the talent acquisition team trains hiring managers in diverse recruitment principles.
Demographics
As an organization, we believe reflecting our markets and customers in our workforce is important to delivering the right services and products. We consider gender on a global scale and focus our ethnicity metrics on U.S. data only, which shows that in the U.S., 35 percent of our workforce is ethnically diverse

Community Engagement
Our Approach
“ It’s humbling to see the impact these homes have on the lives of our nation’s heroes. We’re proud to play a small role in creating spaces where they can thrive, and we’re grateful to the Gary Sinise Foundation for making this possible.”
Joe Miranda, Director of Product Management, JELD-WEN; Chair, JELD-WEN’s Veterans’ Network ERG
We aim to make a lasting impact in every community we touch. Supporting our communities is central to who we are, and we encourage associates to contribute in ways that reflect their passions, whether on their own or alongside their JELD-WEN colleagues.
In 2025, we launched our Charitable Giving Policy to strengthen governance around how we support the communities where we live and work. It ensures charitable contributions comply with our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, align with JELD-WEN’s purpose and values, and follow a consistent, transparent approval process. These
standards help us direct our resources responsibly and maximize the positive impact of our contributions.
We prioritize initiatives that foster a sustainable workforce, expand sustainable housing, and support a sustainable industry19. JELD-WEN provides financial and in-kind support to organizations that enhance community well-being, increase access to safe and affordable housing, and prepare the next generation of manufacturing talent.
In 2025, we supported a variety of organizations including the following through product donations, volunteer hours, or monetary contributions and commitments: The Gary Sinise Foundation R.I.S.E. Program, Purple Heart Homes, Construction Industry Education Foundations (CIEF), Builders Bridge, Lowe’s Foundation, and Home Depot Foundation®
Actions and Outcomes
The following initiatives exemplify our dedication to community engagement.
Crafting Comfort for Our Heros In 2025, JELD-WEN expanded its national partnership with Gary Sinise Foundation’s R.I.S.E. program, which builds specially adapted smart homes for severely wounded veterans and first responders.
Following our first donated-home project in 2024 for U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Dennet Oregon, JELD-WEN has now provided stateof-the-art windows and LaCantina® patio doors for several new homes across the U.S.

Sustainable Procurement, Workers In The Supply Chain
Our Goals and Commitments
By 2030, we plan to source 100 percent of wood for manufacturing that is certified by a recognized third party or not from a region of risk.
of Wood Used in Production is Responsibly Sourced by 2030 % of suppliers in compliance with our Global Wood Sourcing Policy
| 2025: 70% (11% improvement)
Our Approach
We source raw materials responsibly, managing sustainable practices in our supply chain to minimize our carbon footprint. Because many of our products are wood based and sourced from a renewable resource, we seek to work with landowners who apply sustainable practices and prioritize certified sustainable wood.
Policies
We are guided by a suite of policies related to sustainable procurement including our Global Wood Sourcing Policy Statement, Supplier Code of Conduct, JELD-WEN Code of Business Conduct, and Conflict Minerals Policy Statement.
In 2025, we updated our Supplier Code of Conduct to add explicit requirements for wood sourcing and supply chain traceability, strengthen data security, broaden human rights protections, and introduce a more comprehensive set of corporate compliance expectations, including the responsible use of artificial intelligence.
Further, our European Procurement Policy builds on our Supplier Code of Conduct to address European-specific sourcing requirements.
Human Rights
We are committed to protecting individuals’ rights and their basic human dignity along our supply chain. We hold our suppliers and business partners to the same high standards outlined in our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. We do not do business with any entity that engages in human rights abuses. We aim to source materials responsibly and to ensure our business partners don’t manufacture or use conflict minerals, which may contribute to unrest in some countries. We actively engage with our stakeholders and direct suppliers to address sustainability, as well as the risk of human rights abuses, including forced labor and human trafficking, deep in our supply chain.
JELD-WEN requires all of its suppliers to comply with the applicable laws and regulations of the United States, and those of the respective country of manufacture or exportation.
See more here about our efforts to deliver nextgeneration supply chain transparency ahead of EUDR implementation.

Actions and Outcomes
Supplier Review and Assessment
Prior to engaging in business with a supplier, and throughout the term of the relationship, JELD-WEN assesses the supplier’s compliance with our ethical standards.
We employ a third-party risk and compliance assessment tool to assess and rate new suppliers and vendors based on adverse media, sanctions, watch lists and politically exposed persons. If a supplier is identified as non-compliant, we take decisive action by either terminating our business relationship or working closely with the vendor to achieve compliance, based on the nature of the compliance issue.
We evaluate our supply chain and identify high-risk exposures on parameters including known risks and country location. When issues are identified, we work with the relevant suppliers to help them improve.
Sustainable Wood Sourcing and Certification
As a leading member of the global fenestration industry, JELD-WEN purchases significant amounts of wood and wood fiber. Securing a long-term, sustainable supply of wood and wood fiber is crucial for our enduring success. In 2025, 70 percent of our suppliers were in compliance with our Global Wood Sourcing Policy. Suppliers are required to provide third-party certified wood products from regions of risk or evidence from other regions of the supplier’s compliance with the Policy at the request of JELD-WEN.
Our Responsible Wood Sourcing Committee meets regularly to review survey results and prioritize suppliers for confirmatory audits and assessments. To assess vendor responses for accuracy, we conduct testing of wood species and complete audits of select suppliers. In 2025, we surveyed 99 percent of wood suppliers in North America and reviewed supporting documentation in Europe to assess compliance with the new policy.
In Europe, 100 percent of our sourced wood was certified or controlled by third-party forest management standards. A total of 30 percent of wood sourced was FSC™ certified, 54 percent of wood sourced was PEFC certified, and 16 percent was controlled under FWSC CW or PEFC DDS
Supplier Visits
Our team conducts on-site visits with suppliers as necessary. These visits usually involve a tour of the plant, conversations with production workers, and a review of progress in the areas of safety, quality and cost. Discussions of sustainability efforts and audit findings also take place if necessary.
Employees who are responsible for supply chain-related decisions at JELD-WEN receive training on identifying and addressing unethical behavior in our supply chain.
“
Setting clear expectations for ourselves and those we work with helps us uphold ethical standards and strengthen a culture of safety, quality and accountability.”
Jas Hayes, EVP, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary
Product Quality & Safety

Our Approach
“
By working together, we drive efficient, productive operations, better serve our customers, and look out for one another and the environment.”
Katren Sellik, Sustainability & Compliance Manager, JELD-WEN Europe
Our focus on quality and safety reflects our dedication to protecting our associates, our consumers and the environment. Safety and reliability are a priority as we design and manufacture our products. We rigorously test our products to ensure they are compliant with all applicable safety standards. Globally, we actively monitor regulations at the national and state level and engage with the appropriate offices to help ensure we comply with new regulations or determine a path to compliance. As we continue to pursue Cradle to Cradle certification in Europe, we consider material health, defined by Cradle to Cradle as “ensuring materials are safe for humans and the environment.”
To protect our associates and consumers from exposure to harmful chemicals, we maintain a sharp focus on chemicals within our raw materials. Our local teams, who are experts in jurisdictional regulations, assess any new products and reassess products after product changes.
Our products contain paints, glues and adhesives, sealants and other ancillary chemicals used during manufacturing and cleaning. Although such chemicals in our products tend to be present at lower concentrations compared to other industries, we continue to seek safer alternatives.
To support product quality and protect the health and safety of consumers and end users, we design and manufacture products to limit hazardous emissions during their use phase. Our approach integrates applicable regulatory requirements alongside recognized voluntary certifications and standards, such as ENERGY STAR®, Indoor Air Quality certifications, chemical management standards, and life cycle assessments, to inform safer material selection and product design.

Reimagining Energy Efficiency
Through research, testing and academic partnership, JELD-WEN is advancing the next generation of energy-efficient windows and doors. In collaboration with the University of Florida’s Rinker School of Construction Management, we helped launch a new fenestration research facility that evaluates real-world energy and thermal performance using modular, instrumented test structures that measure diverse climate and weather conditions throughout the year. Combined with data from our long-standing research site in Klamath Falls, Oregon, these biregional environments enable our teams to assess a range of design improvements and energy-saving advancements for homeowners. This work advances smarter product development, supports evolving building standards, and provides hands-on learning opportunities for the future generation of building science professionals. Read the full story in our JELD-WEN Newsroom.
Reducing VOC Emissions
Reducing VOC (volatile organic compounds) emissions from our products and factories is a priority. We adhere to testing standards in the regions in which we operate.
In North America, we test our products for VOCs to UL 2821 and assess any new product or potential supplier to the same test standard; 99 percent of our manufactured eligible products met VOC emission standards. We adhere to various testing standards in Europe based on the operating country.
In Sweden and Norway20 , 89 percent of our manufactured eligible products met emission standards criteria on VOC testing results.
We use VOC testing to assess compliance with global product stewardship laws including California’s
Proposition 65, which requires businesses to provide warnings to Californians about significant exposures to chemicals that cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
The majority of paints in North America and Europe are water-based. Our goal is to improve safety, ease chemical requirements and further reduce our impact on the environment.
Implementing water-based and UVbased chemical systems help reduce both VOC and carbon emissions. For example, by replacing paints and adhesives at four European sites, we have reduced VOC emissions. We continue to investigate the use of LED curing solutions to add energy savings to our 100 percent UV systems. For more details on VOC emissions, see Air Quality
Introducing New Chemicals
We take steps to ensure chemicals within our raw materials comply with applicable regulations meant to protect consumer health.
Before introducing a new chemical, our sites in Northern Europe and the U.K. are required to apply for approval of the new chemical in our Chemsoft risk assessment module. Less harmful alternatives must be considered before a chemical can be approved. In other regions, our procurement teams work closely with suppliers to monitor chemical compliance.
JELD-WEN complies with regulatory standards on hazardous chemicals and materials across the regions in which it operates.
We use the SDS module in My EHS to maintain a repository of all safety data sheets for chemicals in our manufacturing sites. The module also includes a chemical approval process that will ensure the appropriate people in the organization are reviewing new chemicals, furthering our goal of additional transparency.
Corporate Governance & Ethics
Our Approach
We believe strong corporate governance supports long-term stockholder value. Our Board and executive team uphold high standards of ethics, transparency and integrity, and we routinely evaluate our governance practices in line with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and New York Stock Exchange requirements and stockholder input. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Conduct outline how we operate, make decisions and support culture grounded in responsible, ethical behavior.
We strengthen our ethics and compliance program through four focus areas: clear policies, effective training, ongoing monitoring and timely corrective action when issues arise.
Actions and Outcomes
Board of Directors
Our Board reflects diverse perspectives, including expertise in sustainability, human capital, IT and cybersecurity, and regulatory affairs. In 2025, women comprised 40 percent of our Board. Directors receive regular access to continuing education to stay informed on key topics. More details can be found in Our Sustainability Governance Structure and our 2026 Proxy Statement
Corporate Ethics & Policies
Ethics and integrity are built into how we work. Our Code of Conduct, interactive, values-driven and accessible to all employees, helps guide decision-making and reinforces our commitment to lawful, ethical business practices. Additional policies support this foundation, including AntiCorruption, Antitrust, Anti-Harassment, Equal Employment Opportunity and Conflicts of Interest.
Our Whistleblower and Non-Retaliation Policy ensures employees and partners can report concerns related to compliance, ethics, accounting practices or human rights issues without fear of retaliation.
We respect the rights of our associates to engage in the political process. However, any gifts or payments to government officials, including politicians, with the hope of a business-related favor in return, may be considered a bribe and therefore are prohibited.
Our Human Rights Policy Statement reaffirms our commitments to freedom of association, collective bargaining, legal wages and benefits, responsible working hours, access to water and sanitation, living-wage aspirations, supply chain due diligence, and effective grievance mechanisms. We encourage reporting of any human rights concerns, and we work to address them promptly.
All associates, including manufacturing teams, have access to our company policies through our global Policy Portal and must attest to the Code of Conduct annually.
Training & Communication
We provide regular training on ethics, compliance, cybersecurity, anti-harassment (U.S.), and required global topics such as anti-bribery, anti-corruption, antitrust, data privacy, and our Code of Conduct. We reinforce ethical expectations through town halls, management meetings, and facility posters highlighting our 24/7 Ethics Helpline. Our membership in BELA supports continuous learning and best-practice sharing.
Empowered to Speak Up
We encourage associates to raise concerns and ask questions without fear of retaliation. JELD-WEN’s Ethics Helpline is available 24/7 to report issues or seek guidance anonymously (where permitted by law). We take every report seriously and ensure appropriate follow-up.
“ Having values is important, but putting them into practice is what matters most. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics helps guide how we bring those values to life every day.”
Edana Lewis, Vice President, Associate General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer

The Board of Directors, through its committees, has oversight responsibility for sustainability matters, including climate-related issues, and is committed to the company’s sustainability vision, which benefits JELD-WEN’s stakeholders. The Board is responsible for overseeing the Company’s business strategy, strategic planning and enterprise risk management program. At least annually, the Board reviews with management the strategic risks and opportunities facing the Company. The Governance and Nominating Committee (GNC) has primary oversight of sustainability matters at the Board level, with other committees focused on specific components of our sustainability initiatives. The GNC, along with the Audit and Compensation Committees, meet quarterly.
Sustainability is a scheduled agenda item in every Board meeting (standing agenda item). The GNC review material includes progress against our sustainability goals. Further, as applicable, the GNC will oversee the setting of corporate targets; the assessment for dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities; and the climate transition plan.
b) Describe management’s role in assessing and managing climate-related risks and opportunities. Executive leadership is responsible for implementing the JELD-WEN sustainability vision with business leaders across our global footprint driving the company’s sustainability efforts. General Counsel is ultimately responsible for sustainability at the executive leadership level. The sustainability Steering Committee supports our ongoing commitment to sustainability matters and goals and ensures alignment with the company’s business strategy. This Committee is comprised of senior leaders across the company’s business and functions including Sustainability, Procurement, Environmental Health & Safety, Product R&D, and Talent Development. The sustainability team reports quarterly to the GNC on sustainability matters.
Strategy
Disclose the actual and potential impacts of climate-related risks and opportunities on the organization’s businesses, strategy and financial planning where such information is material.
a) Describe the climate-related risks and opportunities the organization has identified over the short, medium, and long term.
In the short- (zero to five years) and medium- (five to 10 years) term, our sites could be exposed to risk due to extreme temperatures, water stress, and flooding and drought. The majority of our asset value falls into the low risk category (less than 1 percent of asset value impacted by the climate hazard) with the exception of temperature extremes, which was identified as moderate (less than 5 percent of asset value impacted by the climate hazard) in the 2030s.
Medium- and longer-term physical risks include extreme heat, water stress, and drought and flooding that could increase strain on electricity and water at our production facilities, potentially resulting in increased utility costs, inspections, fines or work stoppages due to extreme heat conditions. Temperature extremes has the largest potential financial risk in the longer-term relative to other climate hazards. The overall risk from all climate hazards is low from the 2020s to the 2090s with the exception of temperature extremes (moderate) in 2080 and 2090. Results of our most recent climate physical risk assessment indicate that in the 2030s, .27 percent of our asset value is at risk from water stress under SSP1_2.6 (low carbon scenario) and .23 percent is at risk from water stress under SSP3_7.0 (high-medium carbon scenario). A total of .5% of our asset value is at risk from temperature extremes in the 2030s under both scenarios.
Our manufacturing and design processes are directly impacted by current climate-related regulations. Given the global reach of our facilities and the complexity of our operations, we are subject to a wide range of EH&S laws and regulations across multiple jurisdictions. Additionally, our products fall under various legal frameworks, including building codes, product safety standards, and energy efficiency mandates. We see climate-related opportunities as the economy shifts to lower consumption of fossil fuels. Consumer preferences are likely to move to more efficient options for homes and buildings constructed in line with global ambitions to reduce emissions. Consequently, we expect the demand for energy-efficient products to continue to increase. For more information, see page 10
b-c) Describe the impact of climate-related risks and opportunities on the organization’s businesses, strategy, and financial planning; Describe the resilience of the organization’s strategy, taking into consideration different climate-related scenarios, including a 2°C or lower scenario. We take a tailored approach to risk response, with a heightened focus on risks and opportunities with the highest magnitude of impact.
For example, to stay ahead of evolving regulations, our legal and compliance department diligently monitors emerging requirements. We believe we are well-positioned to respond to shifting consumer demand and emerging regulatory requirements with certified sustainable products, including Cradle to Cradle certified products in Europe and ENERGY STAR® in North America. For more details on product certification, see page 11
We believe we can enhance our resilience and navigate climate change’s complex challenges by taking a holistic and proactive approach that considers multiple scenarios, assesses risks and plans for adaptation and mitigation, while fostering collaboration and monitoring progress. It’s essential that we take climate change into account as we develop our strategies. Our commitment to sustainability extends benefits not only to our company and communities, but also to future generations.
Risk Management
Disclose how the organization identifies, assesses and manages climate-related risks.
a-c) Describe the organization’s processes for identifying and assessing climate-related risks; Describe the organization’s processes for managing climate-related risks; Describe how processes for identifying, assessing and managing climate-related risks are integrated into the organization’s overall risk management.
Risk assessment and monitoring is of increased importance as climate change poses a growing challenge to business operations. In 2023, we started redefining our ERM process to formalize our governance structure, risk identification and prioritization, and risk mitigation plans. The redefining of our ERM process worked in parallel with our double materiality assessment to make sure sustainability risks, including climate, were considered in our organizational ERM strategy.
To further assess JELD-WEN’s climate-related risks and opportunities, we conducted a climate scenario assessment in line with the TCFD in 2024. Our physical risk assessment was broadened to included all JELD-WEN facilities and was refreshed in 2025.
Our scenario analyses included two physical and two transition risk scenarios. Under each risk scenario, two scenarios were further chosen in order to consider the potential financial impact of both a ‘low carbon’ and a ‘high carbon’ scenario. In the most recent physical risk assessment, SSP1_2.6 (low-carbon scenario) and SSP3_7.0 (high-medium carbon scenario) were assessed to capture the two potential pathways of increased climate warming. Climate indicator data was collected for both of these scenarios for JELD-WEN facilities included in the 2025 statement of values for insurance renewals across nine physical climate hazards: pluvial flooding, riverine flooding, coastal flooding, tropical cyclone, wildfires, water stress, drought, landslides, and temperature extremes (extreme heat).
For transition risks, the low carbon scenario that was chosen was the Announced Policy Scenario (APS), which is linked to potentially higher carbon pricing in the countries where we operate, as well as increased demand for some of our key products. The high carbon scenario is the Stated Policies Scenario (STEPS), which yielded relatively low impact from carbon taxes or other transition risks. In 2024, we completed work with a consultant to formalize our ERM procedures and move to a fully ‘managed’ capability level with respect to ERM framework activities. A formal ERM charter, framework and policy are now in place. We have also formalized our risk identification and prioritization process to institutionalize risk prioritization and scoring, as well as developing mechanisms to identify new and emerging risks. Lastly, we have formalized risk mitigation plans and identified risk owners. With an enhanced ERM framework incorporated into our strategy, we have developed ERM education and training to raise awareness internally. Risk mitigation plans have been formed and are reported on regularly to the Audit Committee.

Type Identified Risks Description
Transition Risks
Current regulation
Current climate-related regulations can be relevant to our manufacturing and design processes. The geographic breadth of our facilities, the nature of our operations and many of our products are also subject to various climate-related laws and regulations.
Emerging regulation Emerging regulations are monitored by our legal and compliance department along with the ERM department and applicable regional teams, and we engaged a third-party consultant to review our upcoming European climate-related regulations and provide feedback on our implementation roadmaps.

Physical Risks
Reputation
Acute physical
Changes in supply and demand due to technology change are monitored across the regions. In Europe, products with lower embodied carbon are favored by some consumers. By making our operations as efficient as possible through upgrading inefficient equipment like air compressors, we reduce the carbon required to make a product.
As a public company with global operations, we are subject to the laws and regulations of the United States and multiple foreign jurisdictions.
We monitor market risks including changing customer behavior, uncertainty in market signals and supply chain pressure in our ERM processes. We recognize different regional preferences for certain materials and products. For example, our energy-efficient windows are a strong preference in the United States. In Europe, some consumers have a heightened focus on embodied carbon.
Reputational risks such as shifts in consumer preferences and increased stakeholder concern or negative stakeholder feedback could impact JELD-WEN. Reputational risks are monitored in the ERM process.
Our climate-related risk assessment identified the increased intensity and/or frequency of extreme natural occurrences (hurricanes, floods, wildfires, etc.) as acute physical risks. These could lead to the closure of our facilities and other direct damages. We can take steps to minimize losses by reviewing insurance for adequate coverage and applying for additional coverage, as appropriate.
Chronic physical
The consequences of climate change might lead to a higher risk of drought and reduced supplies of water. Some of our facilities rely on water to produce steam to form door skins, and ensuring access to water and using water responsibly is our priority. To address these pressures, we are monitoring our current water use and exploring water reuse opportunities to reduce our water usage.

(JELD-WEN) to conduct an independent verification of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reported by JELD-WEN for the period of January 1 through December 31, 2025. This Verification Statement applies to the related information included within the scope of work described below.
The determination of the GHG emissions is the sole responsibility of JELD-WEN. JELD-WEN is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the GHG statement in accordance with the criteria. Geosyntec’s sole responsibility was to provide independent verification of the GHG emissions reported, and on the underlying systems and processes used to collect, analyze and review the information. Geosyntec is responsible for expressing an opinion on the GHG statement based on the verification. Verification activities applied in a limited level of assurance verification are less extensive in nature, timing and extent than in a reasonable level of assurance verification. The reliability of the assured data is subject to inherent uncertainties, given the available methods for determining, calculating, or estimating the underlying information.
Boundaries of the reporting company GHG emissions covered by the verification:
– Organizational: Operational Control
– Geographic: Worldwide, 136 Facilities1
– Exclusions from the boundary of JELD-WEN’s GHG emissions assertion include emissions from JELD-WEN’s joint ventures, partnerships, or other business arrangements where JELD-WEN does not hold a majority ownership interest or majority voting control
Types of GHGs: CO2, CH4, N2O

Independent Assurance Statement
Reference Verification Standard:
–
ISO 14064-3: Greenhouse gases -- Part 3: Specification with guidance for the validation and verification of greenhouse gas statements
Level of Assurance and Materiality Threshold:
– Limited 1,2,4
– This verification used a materiality threshold of ±5% for aggregate errors
2 Scope 2 emission factors for the non-U.S. facilities were verified using international grid factors that are publicly available.
3 Scope 2 domestic emission factors were referenced fromUSEPA 2023 eGRID emission factors (published January 2025). Geosyntec conducted its limited assurance audit using the2023 eGRID factors updated in June 2025 and has recommended that JELD-WEN use the most recently available eGRID factors for future GHG inventories.
4 Scope 1 mobile source emission factors in Benchmark were not differentiated between on-road and non-road vehicles, and emissions were based on fuel usage data. Geosyntec used stationary combustion emission factors from Table 1, "Stationary Combustion," in the USEPA Emission Factor Hub (2025) to estimate CH4 and N2O emissions for mobile sources. Benchmark emission factors for CH4 and N2O from mobile sources are closely to those in Table 5, "Mobile Combustion CH4 and N2O for Non-Road Vehicles," in the USEPA Emission Factor Hub (2025). This contributes to minor discrepancies in reported mobile source emissions between Benchmark and the Auditor's analysis.
GHG Verification Methodology:
A risk-based approach was used throughout the verification. Evidence-gathering procedures included but were not limited to:
– Interviews with relevant personnel of JELD-WEN;
– Review of documentary evidence produced by JELD-WEN;
– Review of JELD-WEN data and information systems and methodology for collection, aggregation, analysis and review of information used to determine GHG emissions; and
