ADENTRA Inc. has released its 2023 Sustainability Report, benchmarking current business practices and outlining priorities to continuously improve upon the company’s strong record of environmental stewardship, workplace culture, customer relations and more.
Release of the Sustainability Report culminates many months of painstaking fact gathering and preparation. The report represents the company’s most important undertaking since it rebranded from Hardwoods Distribution Inc. to ADENTRA last December. It encompasses all five of ADENTRA’s flagship brands—Hardwoods, Mid-Am, Novo Building Products. Paxton Lumber, and Rugby Architectural Building Products, plus ADENTRA imports.
“We are proud to share our inaugural sustainability report, highlighting the progress we have made in our areas of focus,” says Rob Brown, CEO of ADENTRA. “As our business continues to grow and evolve, our attention to sustainability throughout our business is also transforming. We want to build an even stronger and more sustainable future for our company and our key stakeholders, and we hope that this first sustainability report provides important insights into the ways we are working to create a positive impact on our world.”
ADENTRA’s Sustainability Report is grounded in the company’s core values—Integrity, Fairness, People, and Passion. It outlines key focus areas consistent within our industry and specific to our business, and how ADENTRA is aligning sustainability efforts with our commitment to be the preferred choice for our customers, the best partner for our vendors, and a great place to work for our valued employees.

- Engaged an external advisor to conduct a thorough assessment of our performance and to identify priority sustainability topics
- Developed a detailed approach to sustainability and set of ambitions for ADENTRA, organized into three major themes: Building Environmental & Material Stewardship, Cultivating Healthy Workplaces, and Championing Privacy, Ethics & Transparency
