GAF, North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, announced today that it has extended its commitment to green building and sustainable building practices by sponsoring the Certified Green Dealer Program at the platinumlevel. The Certified Green Dealer Program (www.CertifiedGreenDealer.org) is the nation’s only program for training and certifying building material dealerships in the knowledge of green building products and practices. 

GAF launched an industry-leading Certified Green Roofer Program and committed to a multiyear sponsorship of ShingleRecycling.org, which helps contractors and distributors connect with qualified shingle recyclers across the U.S. and Canada. Additionally, a wide range of related resources are available at gaf.com/green, including tools and resources to educate and inform roofers and contractors about the importance of cool roofs, roof ventilation, and green codes and rating systems.

“GAF has allocated substantial resources to green building, and it’s very clear that the company ‘talks the talk’ and‘walks the walk’ when it comes to green building for commercial and residential buildings,” said John D. Wagner, a green expert and managing partner of the Certified Green Dealer Program. “GAF has demonstrated a clear commitment to green roofing and shingle recycling programs. Through the Certified Green Dealer Program, we hope to make GAF’s programs pervasive throughout the industry.”
