2021 Owens Corning Sustainability Report | Expanding Our Product Handprint | Product Innovation & Stewardship | 95 PRODUCT INNOVATION & STEWARDSHIP In this chapter: ƒ 2030 GOALS ƒ OUR APPROACH ƒ PRODUCT INNOVATION ƒ PRODUCT STEWARDSHIP ƒ PRODUCT SUSTAINABILITY & TRANSPARENCY ƒ GOING FORWARD Owens Corning products help make the world a more sustainable place, from insulation and roofing products that save energy in homes and workplaces to composites that help make renewable power even more viable. That’s our product handprint — the positive impacts we have around the world — and extending that handprint is vital. One way we do that is through innovations that are in keeping with the principles of product stewardship. Our people are working to lower our negative impact wherever possible and transparently present that progress. And given the ingenuity and passion of our people, we are confident that the goals we have set are within reach.
