What Drives LP
Better Building, Better World

It’s why we engineer products that perform, empower our team members to get involved in their communities and uphold sustainable practices to responsibly manage our environmental footprint.

Mission
Our mission is to provide an innovative and sustainable portfolio of high-quality products that help customers build beautiful, durable homes and structures while our shareholders build lasting value.
Values
At LP, we are guided by a simple principle: Do the Right Thing Always™. This phrase reflects the core of our value system, which is built on:
Trust in one another
Respect for every person, responsibility and decision
Urgency in how we act and make decisions
Transparency in our goals, priorities and performance
Honesty through open dialogue, not silent dissent
Leadership Behaviors
LP’s high-performance culture encourages team members to Think and Act Like Owners™ to maximize value and deliver results through empowerment and accountability. The following eight leadership behaviors guide us:
Be Safe
Safety is central to everything we do. It starts in your mind and is evident in your actions. Protect yourself and one another. Be careful and purposeful to ensure no one gets injured while working at LP.
Insist on Excellence
Our customers have a choice, so never settle for second best. Aim higher, expect more and demand better. Take pride in your work and raise the bar every day.
Innovate & Simplify
Progress is necessary and welcome. Dare to ask “Why?” and challenge the status quo. Think big, seek new ideas and remove unnecessary complexities. Solve problems for the organization, not only for yourself.
Join Forces
We are stronger as a team than as individuals. Collaborate effectively, encourage different perspectives and trust in one another because together we will achieve more. Success requires all of us.
Be Curious
Learn every day and help others grow. Seek honest feedback and offer constructive guidance. When you stop improving, you stop excelling.
Embrace Differences
Champion diversity. Take time to listen and understand. Welcome everyone with fairness, mutual respect and equal treatment. Similarities connect us, but differences strengthen us.
Lean In, Speak Up
Ask hard questions and engage in respectful debate. Speak candidly, listen closely and commit wholly when a decision is made. Voice concerns and recognize others for a job well done.
Have a Bias for Action
Go-getters make things happen. Act with a sense of urgency and use good judgment, instinct and expertise to take calculated risks. Own your decisions and deliver results.
