Hayward Environmental Conservation Policy Conservation Statement We recognize the opportunity, accept the responsibility and will lead the journey to environmental stewardship. Leading is exactly what we have been doing. In 1999, we were the first lumber company in the country to offer FSC certified wood products to builders. Next, we sought out less toxic building materials for our customers followed by offering high performance ventilation systems to ensure all homes are filled with healthy, fresh air. Today we are the leader in enabling builders to build healthier homes using the four Hayward Healthy Home Principles. Finally, to help people across America to understand the health impacts of their home we launched HaywardScore.com. We have now enabled over 23,000 people to improve the health of their homes. Helping our Communities Hayward is committed to giving back within its communities where we live and work. Our goal is to provide manpower, materials, and enthusiasm to those in need. Whether it is raising money for breast cancer through the American Cancer Society or raising walls at a local Habitat for Humanity build, giving back to our community is one of the ways we measure success.
