Mission:

Our mission is to achieve our Core Purpose by leveraging the knowledge base and entrepreneurial spirit of our employees and partners to create an efficient marketplace, professionalize the industry, and standardize product lines. A successful Mission will produce increased shareholder value and significant improvement to the environment. We will create a safe work environment where higher productivity, outstanding customer service and ingenuity are rewarded. The most critical element of this mission is the development of true partnerships with our employees, suppliers, customers, and strategic industry participants. 

Vision:

In areas where it is economically viable, we will capture clean streams of wood material otherwise destined for landfill disposal and safely manufacture large quantities of beneficial use products and renewable energy feedstock at a competitive cost. We will develop and expand traditional and non-traditional markets for wood products through innovation and creativity. We will profitably market large quantities of wood products and develop freight strategies to deliver materials efficiently to the user. Our information database will be the most comprehensive in the industry, encouraging others to seek partnering arrangements with NOVUS when facing challenges in solid waste management and renewable energy. Partnerships with our employees, suppliers, and product users, and alliances with others who share our mission will be the cornerstone of our infrastructure. Our challenge is to attract, hire, train, develop and motivate the most creative, team-oriented experts in the forest products, solid waste management and recycling industries to achieve this Mission.
