Green Beginnings: Clarum Homes and Carlisle Wide Plank Floors
- Posted by
I recently read an article in the USA Today about Clarum Homes founder John Suppes. The article focused on how he started the company years ago based on green principles - even "before it was cool".
The story sounded so familiar and that’s because Carlisle was founded over 40 years ago on the foundation of being a responsible steward of the environment. I hope to spend a lot of time talking about the foundation of our company, our current forestry and manufacturing practices, as well as our goals for the future.
The other point I’d like to address from the Clarum article is his position that "the most reliable material is timber harvested in an ecologically sound manner". Carlisle floors are made of these materials - timbers that are harvested selectively with long-term sustainability in mind.
