Clayton Homes is committed to caring for the planet through tree planting, waste reduction, and energy-efficient homebuilding practices designed to create a better future for generations to come.
At Clayton Homes, sustainability is part of our long-term mission. We believe building quality homes should go hand in hand with protecting the environment and supporting stronger communities.
Through a partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation®, Clayton has helped plant millions of trees to support reforestation efforts across the country. This ongoing commitment helps restore forests, improve air and water quality, and support wildlife habitats. Clayton’s goal is to plant a tree for every one used in the homebuilding process, reinforcing responsible forestry practices.
Another important part of our environmental impact comes from the way our homes are built. Because Clayton homes are constructed inside climate-controlled facilities, materials are protected from weather damage and used more efficiently. The factory-built process allows for precise material planning, reduced debris, and increased recycling opportunities compared to many traditional on-site construction methods. Many Clayton home building facilities are ISO 14001 certified, meaning environmental management systems are integrated into daily operations with a focus on continuous improvement.
Energy efficiency is also a priority. Clayton’s eBuilt® homes are designed with features that can help homeowners lower energy use and potentially reduce annual utility costs. Enhanced insulation, efficient windows, and high-performance systems are built in to promote comfort and savings.
From planting trees to reducing waste and improving efficiency, Clayton Homes remains committed to building responsibly and creating a more sustainable future.
