USG is committed to giving back to the communities where we live and work. Every year, teams across the company have the opportunity to select a local nonprofit organization to receive a $5,000 grant from the USG Foundation as part of our Give Local program.

The USG Securock® Brand team recently supported the Roofing industry’s strong tie to the
Ronald McDonald House and took part in a Roofing Alliance volunteer event in Las Vegas and awarded a Give Local grant to Ronald McDonald House Fort Worth to support its mission to provide a “home away from home” for families in need whose children are being treated for serious illnesses and other debilitating injuries at nearby hospitals.

USG is proudly operating with the future in mind.

In a recent conversation with Green Building & Design (gb&d) Magazine, our CTO Dr. Srinivas Veeramasuneni shared how USG is helping rethink waste in the construction industry by working towards a closed loop system that eliminates waste and reuses material. In large part due to our Take Back program, launched in 2023, that collects clean gypsum scrap from job sites and reintegrates it into new products.

In the feature, Dr. “Vas” Srinivas Veeramasuneni explains how USG is working with each customer to find the best solution depending on plant capacity, geography, and external constraints. Last year alone, we diverted nearly 10,000 tons of material from landfills through the Take Back program—enough to avoid close to 1,600 tons of CO₂ equivalent, or the same as powering 225 homes for a year.

As Dr. Vas notes: “The main aim is to preserve natural resources for future generations.”

The Construction Industry is Rethinking Waste and What's Next Circularity is increasingly moving from sustainability add-on to core business strategy, and USG is helping to lead the way.

What an inspiring evening! USG was honored to welcome the talented members of International Interior Design Association (IIDA) to our 18th floor showroom for an exclusive gathering to kick off their Chicago Design Week and annual meetings.

Our space was buzzing with creative energy as leading designers and architects mingled over curated sips and bites while exploring our latest ceiling innovations for a firsthand experience of what’s possible when design vision meets material expertise.

A highlight of the night: celebrating the recipients of the IIDA Chapter Leadership Awards—congratulations to the winners who left with some lovely prizes! We’re proud to support and recognize thought leadership in the interior design community.

Thank you, , for your partnership in elevating the future of design.
