At Gibraltar, we are committed to sustainability and building a better world.
Our businesses organize around and participate in global conversations about sustainability every day. The products we make contribute to a more sustainable planet; we are operationally reducing our footprint; and, we are giving back to our communities through sustainable actions.
We are proud of the work we do to make a difference. This is what sets us apart. This is what makes us stronger. This is what makes us all #GibraltarProud
To be sustainable and responsible through the advancement of our health and welfare programs; putting the safety and well-being of our people before anything else; supporting professional growth and developing our future leaders; and supporting diversity and inclusion.
By contributing to communities where we do business and where our people live and work; supporting these communities through charitable donations; and sponsoring volunteerism.

We are committed to treating everyone fairly, with respect and dignity, and do not tolerate discrimination. We strive to provide a safe and healthy work environment and an atmosphere conducive to open communication.
Every day really matters! At Gibraltar, we support our people to realize their potential with meaningful career development opportunities where our people constantly learn, are challenged, and grow. Gibraltar University is a formal education and development program with a broad curriculum delivered through formal classroom education, self-learning, and project-based implementation learning.
We support diversity and inclusion and we encourage a culture where all employees come to work feeling appreciated and knowing they have an equal opportunity to grow and succeed based on their performance, regardless of individual differences.
Creating a safe and healthy environment for our organization is a top priority for Gibraltar. This is not a program, but a continuous commitment from our leadership team and everyone across our organization with continuous focus and investment in education and tools, and accountability for improving our environment, every day.
We are committed to investing in the communities where our people live and work and to being an active and responsible corporate citizen in each community.
Gibraltar’s Workplace Giving Program partners with four charitable organizations – Ronald McDonald House Charities, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Make-A-Wish Foundation of America, and Habitat for Humanity International. For every donation or contribution an employee makes to any of these charities, Gibraltar matches the same contribution amount in the name of the employee.
In addition to Gibraltar’s Workplace Giving Program, our businesses fund a variety of local and regional charities in their respective communities with their time, talent, and treasure, such as:
Our team in Manhattan, Kansas participates in hosting tours for transitioning military members, including Military to Manufacturing, in partnership with the City of Manhattan, Kansas State University, and a few other area businesses.
Our employees attended the Gibraltar University at the beginning of this year. As part of this program, our employees also volunteered with the United Way of Metro Chicago in a comradery filled event to fill snack bags and create cards and inspirational messages to be presented to Blue Cap, located in Blue Island, Illinois. United Way of Metro Chicago works alongside best-in-class nonprofits, like Blue Cap to establish multiple pathways to success for all their neighbors. Blue Cap’s mission is to serve as a catalyst for children and adults with intellectual disabilities to be educated, have quality life experiences, be respected and be a valued member of their community.
We are committed to operating responsibly in the world by focusing on measuring, managing and reducing our carbon footprint, and promoting responsibility across our entire value chain.

Our focus going forward is to reduce our carbon footprint from the following baseline (as measured using 2017 and 2018 data):
