NASHVILLE, Tenn., LP Building Solutions (LP), a manufacturer of high-performance building products, today released its 2026 Sustainability Report, detailing the company’s performance across environmental stewardship, workforce development, product innovation, and community investment.

The report highlights a year of strong performance across LP’s business, including a record 21 patents granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in 2025. In 2016, LP formally established innovation as a pillar of growth. This milestone brought LP’s total patents granted since then to 48, reflecting the company’s continued investment in product development, manufacturing capabilities, and innovation.

“Long-term success requires more than strong products,” said LP Chief Executive Officer Jason Ringblom. “It requires disciplined execution across the business, from developing our people and operating responsibly to investing in growth and driving innovation. This report reflects the mindset and principles that have shaped LP for decades and continue to strengthen our business today.”

Organized around five key sustainability pillars, Governance, People, Environment, Products, and Community, the report highlights how LP integrates stewardship, innovation, and operational excellence across its business.
