Our Commitment to Sustainability
A Green Company
Vigilant prides itself on being a green company . We minimize our environmental footprint and recognize that sustainable environmental practices are not just a moral imperative, but make good business sense.
By responsibly using sustainable materials and resources and limiting our waste, we minimize our impact on the natural environment and maintain efficiency while handcrafting sustainable wood products that stand the test of time.
Sustainable Wood Products
Did you know that wood is a sustainable material when harvested responsibly? When used in furnishings, wood stores carbon and prevents greenhouse gas emissions. As a green company, we take pride in this.
When manufacturing our sustainable handcrafted wood products, we work hard to reduce wood waste and pay equal attention to limiting our energy usage.
