I read this week in the Monterey County Herald that the Monterey County Business Council has granted its first Green Public Public-Private Partnership Award to Hayward Corporation and The Sustainability Academy for the EnviroSmart Program, which identifies environmentally preferred building materials. This award is a great honor for Bill Hayward and his company, and offers but a glimpse into what Bill has accomplished in the areas of sustainable forestry, greenbuilding, and sustainable product development over the past 15 years. As head of a California lumber company, Bill easily could have paid lip service to the environment while relocating operations to areas where ecological concerns are lower. But Bill is a Californian, and a man of deep personal commitment (that his title includes Chief Sustainability Officer is telling). He says, “We recognize the opportunity, accept the responsibility, and will lead the journey to environmental stewardship.” Chairman of the Board of the Forest Stewardship Council - US Division, and creator of several lines of sustainably produce products, Bill has also built the first LEED Gold truss manufacturing facility. Hayward walks the walk from FSC products to green building results. Congratulations on the recognition from the business community, Bill.
