SFIA member ClarkDietrich, manufacturer of cold-formed steel (CFS) framing products, continues its commitment to sustainability with the launch of a new digital tool and Corporate Sustainability Report.
SustainabilityPRO Digital Tool
In partnership with ecomedes, developer of sustainable building products platform, ClarkDietrich launched SustainabilityPRO – an easy-to-use digital tool that allows users to quickly access the product specific information and certifications needed to calculate contributions to LEED®, LBC, WELL and many other green building rating systems.
SustainabilityPRO is accessible from anywhere, anytime with a desktop or mobile device.
According to research from the American Institute of Architects, 80% of architects want to specify more sustainable materials, but only 1 in 3 feels they are meeting that goal. By launching SustainabilityPRO, ClarkDietrich is helping to address these challenges by making transparency documentation available in just a few clicks.

Corporate Sustainability Report
ClarkDietrich published its first Corporate Sustainability Report, reinforcing the company’s commitment to increase product transparency.
“ClarkDietrich has practiced sustainability principles for many years, but it has been fragmented and not clearly organized,” said Adam Shoemaker, corporate sustainability manager, ClarkDietrich. “ Publishing this first Corporate Sustainability Report was a huge step in setting up the structure and focus of our sustainability program moving into the future.
With the release of the Corporate Sustainability Report, ClarkDietrich becomes the first CFS manufacturer to issue such a report.
“It also allows us to transparently communicate our path forward both internally and externally.” said Shoemaker. “This transparency is a vital part of all sustainability programs.”
Among other details, the report includes information on benchmarks related to reporting practices and will be published annually going forward.
