Advancing Lower Embodied Carbon Solutions
While operational emissions can be reduced over time, embodied carbon is locked in from the moment a project is built, making material choices critical from the outset.
Tate's Lower Embodied Carbon (LEC) solutions help reduce upfront emissions through the use of verified lower-carbon materials, manufactured in facilities that prioritize operational efficiency and sustainable production practices.
By addressing embodied carbon at the source, Tate LEC solutions help customers make measurable progress toward their decarbonization and sustainability goals.

Delivering Planet Passionate Progress
Sustainability is embedded in how we operate. From onsite solar generation and rainwater harvesting to reuse and operational efficiency improvements, Tate is working to reduce environmental impacts across our operations and value chain.
Through Planet Passionate, our global sustainability program, we are advancing ambitious goals in decarbonization, energy, circularity, and water stewardship. Together with Kingspan Data Solutions, we are pursuing our shared 2030 ambitions:
• 90% of company fleet transitioned to zero-emission vehicles
• 100% of wholly-owned sites equipped with solar PV systems
• 85% reduction in waste sent to landfill
• 5 million liters of rainwater harvested
Supporting Planet Passionate Communities
Strong communities are the foundation of a sustainable future. At Tate, we strive to support the places where we live and work to create thriving communities where both people and the planet can prosper for generations to come.
This includes investing in manufacturing sites in rural locations to create opportunities that extend across the workforce and into the local economy, as well as working with communities to implement environmental projects that enhance quality of life.
At Tate’s St. Paul, Virginia, manufacturing facility, work is underway to install a new 36,000-gallon rainwater harvesting system that will provide a much-needed water source for the local Fire Department and support emergency response efforts throughout the community.
On track for installation in fall 2026, the new rainwater tank is expected to collect approximately 30,000 gallons of rainwater each month, enough to fulfill the Fire Department's typical water needs for emergency response and regular training activities while significantly reducing its reliance on potable water.
With manufacturing investments in rural communities across the United States, Tate’s expansion strategy helps ensure economic opportunity is widely shared. Since establishing operations in Pocahontas, Arkansas, Tate has helped drive local job creation and economic growth, contributing to a stronger, more resilient community.
Employing more than 400 people across manufacturing, skilled trades, engineering, and technical roles, the site has become a cornerstone of the local economy, strengthening the regional manufacturing base and creating long-term career opportunities.
Together, we can create a more sustainable tomorrow.
