GAF, North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, is proud to sponsor the new Certified Green Distributor™ Program, an extension of the highly successful Certified Green Dealer® Program. The Certified Green Distributor™ Program today announced that it now offers on-line, on-demand training, green certification, and marketing support to the nation’s one-step distributors.
The training is web-based and covers five topics that are central to one-step distributors: Air Sealing, Cladding, Roofing, Insulation, and Roof Shingle Recycling. Each course module is accompanied by a downloadable study guide and is available at www.CertifiedGreenDistributor.Org.
GAF’s sponsorship is just one of the many steps that the Company has taken to support green-building training and roof recycling initiatives. In addition to sponsoring the Certified Green Distributor™ Program, GAF has instituted highly regarded internal sustainability efforts. GAF has also launched the Certified Green Roofer Program, which includes a multiyear sponsorship of ShingleRecycling.org, a site that helps contractors and distributors connect with qualified shingle recyclers across the U.S. and Canada. Its dedicated webpage GAF.com/green, offers a wide range of related resources, including tools and information to educate and inform roofers and contractors about the importance of cool roofs, roof ventilation, and green codes and rating systems.
