GLGW is committed to being North America’s most reliable
and efficient distributor of building products.
We are made from great people doing whatever it takes. Part of that commitment can be broken down into four core principals our team members champion every day.
- 1.Know your business/markets better than anyone in the business
- 2.Attract and retain the best talent the distribution industry has to offer
- 3.Be a market leader in the chosen product categories
- 4.Operate at a lower cost than any other company in our industry
Our Core Values help everyone at GLGW Building Products achieve our
goals of certainty with innovation.
Doing more with less.
Our people, in all scopes of responsibility, are diligent about streamlining operations and increasing profitability; driving wasteful costs out of the business while making service levels more effective for customers and suppliers.
Entrepreneurial spirit.
Within this entrepreneurial spirit our branches are both profit and decision centres for our management team. Our people are empowered to express ideas, make pivotal decisions and take appropriate risks that create added value. We believe that great talent is a company’s strongest asset and invest in attracting the best people with a drive to achieve. Performance that supports both our mission and vision is recognized and rewarded.
Integrity.
Integrity is as valuable as any product. Taiga fosters a culture of honesty, trustworthiness and respect for each other, our customers and suppliers, our shareholders, and our community. At all times we operate with respect to governing laws, regulations and company policies. Our behaviour as individuals and as an organization will always be held to the highest ethical standards. We believe that giving back to the community in which our employees live is part of that responsibility. Taiga donates to charitable organizations that support housing, education and other worthy causes in our communities.
Our commitment to the environment is strong and unrelenting. We believe in responsible sourcing for Taiga products and partner with brands who share our values.
GLGW supports and encourages sound forest practices and the effective management of the forest resource for future generations to enjoy.
GLGW’s product mix demonstrates the basic conservation principals of reduce, reuse and recycle. Treated wood products reduce the use of our timber resource. Promoting the use of treated wood products indirectly reduces the consumption of our forests by extending the useful life of wood products.
Recycled glass is used in Johns Manville insulation products. As well, Johns Manville insulation is Formaldehyde-free™, which promotes better indoor air quality and a healthier indoor environment.
Waste wood, reclaimed plastic pallet wrap and recycled plastic grocery bags are used to manufacture new age Trex® composite decking.
Substitute wood products like oriented strand board (OSB) and engineered wood products are gaining prominence within our product mix. These products more efficiently utilize the forest resource without compromising technical performance.
