Masisa USA to Announce MasisaGREEN™ Award Winner at AMD Convention

Masisa USA Inc.’s first annual MasisaGREEN™ Award will be presented November 2, 2007, during the Association of Millwork Distributors (AMD) Convention in Denver, Colo. The award will recognize a Masisa USA customer that exemplifies excellence in responsible environmental and social practices. A member company of GrupoNueva, Masisa benefits from a long heritage of corporate responsibility and is well known for its integrated business model for sustainable development, according to a company release.

“Masisa USA’s customers reflect a growing number of responsible companies that are actively working to build better environments and societies in which they operate,” says Dan Schmidt, president of Masisa USA. “Our newly-created MasisaGREEN™ Award will provide opportunities for Masisa USA and the winning customer to work together to bring attention to our mutual commitment to responsible environmental and social practices.”

Masisa’s business commitment is evident in that the company uses a triple bottom-line management system that measures environmental and social stewardship, as well as profits. The company also has FSC certification, SCS certification for recycled raw materials, ISO 14001 for environmental management and OHSAS 18001 for occupational health and safety management. Masisa USA is a member of the Chicago Climate Exchange and is also a product partner for the National Homebuilder Mainstream GreenHome™, being built by Cherokee Investment Partners in Raleigh, N.C.
