GAF Selected as ‘Category Leader for Roofing’ by GreenWizard

GAF is honored to have been selected by GreenWizard as the Category Leader for Roofing in its selection of manufacturers that achieved outstanding performance in green building. A Category Leader is a company that has made the most significant progress in supporting the needs and requirements of both the building industry and building owners/occupants with respect to product transparency and sustainability initiatives.

GreenWizard narrowed its extensive list of manufacturers down to the top 25 based on activity in GreenWizard (how many times products were added to libraries and selected for projects) as well as on activity of the manufacturers with regard to overall sustainability initiatives. These top 25 were then evaluated by design and construction professionals who voted for those they felt showed the highest sustainability commitment.

From there, each category (roofing, flooring, paint, communications, etc.) had two award recipients: “Category Leader” and “Top Performer.” Those selected as the “Category Leader” were the standout company in their category based on their commitment, contribution, and disclosure of information to support a better-built environment. “Top Performers” were recognized in their category for their efforts in product and/or corporate sustainability initiatives.

“GAF is a strong advocate for product transparency and sustainability. GAF stands out in the industry by making product information readily available to the design and construction community,” stated Jerry Lepore, president and CEO of GreenWizard, Inc. “GreenWizard is delighted that GAF sees us as a key to their success in getting information out to their key constituents. Our system is only as strong as the manufacturers who support it and GAF is a prime example of why GreenWizard is the Building Product Management Solution for the building industry.”
