Sustainability Standard Tops NSC 2014 Accomplishment List/ NSC Names 2015 Officers and Committee Chairs
HOLLIS, NH-- The release of the ANSI/NSC 373 Sustainability Standard was a highlight of the Natural Stone Council (NSC) 2014 accomplishment list, according to NSC chairman Moe Bohrer, as he addressed a number of stone industry leaders at StonExpo West / Marmomacc Americas 2015 in Las Vegas, NV.
"The NSC's commitment to sustainability goes far beyond producing the ANSI approved standard (a three-year effort), assisting the first company (TexaStone Quarries) to achieve the new standard, and producing tools to educate the design community about the standard," said Bohrer. He also announced that Kathy Spanier of Coldspring will be chairing an effort to pursue acceptance of the standard by various sustainability market drivers, such as the USGBC and the Living Building Challenge, in the upcoming months.
