Today, people are more concerned than ever about the environmental and safety implications of the products they buy. As one of the nation's leading wood-preserving companies, we do more than share this concern. We also do our best to ensure the environmental and human compatibility of every one of our products and processes - proudly fulfilling our obligations to our employees, our customers, and our community.
For one, our pressure-treating processes extend the useful life of wood products, thus slowing the consumption of wood from our nation's forests. Second, our continued commitment to the management of our nation's forests as a renewable resource will ensure a supply of timber for the future. These commitments are fulfilled, in part, through our active involvement in industry organizations like the Western Wood Preservers Institute and the American Wood Preservers' Association.

Responsible to our community... and to ourselves
At J. H. Baxter, we take our environmental responsibilities seriously. Our Environmental and Safety Department, headed by Georgia Baxter, a fourth-generation family principal, is devoted exclusively to meeting those responsibilities. Its goal is to ensure compliance with all employee safety and environmental regulations. But we feel more than just a legal responsibility. We also recognize the long-term value - and wisdom - of acting responsibly in our community and ecosystem.
Pushing the envelope for environmental improvements
The R & D engineers at our laboratories in Eugene, Oregon are constantly vigilant in their search for innovative treating methods, whether they involve Best Management Practices or the ongoing search for improved processes.

Stewarding our natural resources for four generations We are proud stewards of our company's precious natural resources. Our company timberlands - among the finest in the West - have been meticulously cared for by four generations of Baxters. We all look forward to the day when the fifth generation of Baxters will become the stewards of these resource-rich lands. |
