Houston, TX  – Mr. Howard Brodsky, Co-Founder and Chairman of CCA Global Partners presented a 2010 Hardwood Forestry Fund Gifford Pinchot Award on behalf of the HFF Board of Directors to Don Finkell, President/CEO of Anderson Hardwood Floors on July 22, 2010.  

 The Hardwood Forestry Fund’s Gifford Pinchot Award recognizes significant corporate achievements in promoting sustainable forestry. Gifford Pinchot is considered to be the United States’ first forester.  He was the first Chief of the US Forest Service, and founded the Society of American Foresters and served as its first president.

Anderson Hardwood Floors received this special award for their tremendous environmental and conservation focus.  Anderson has invested significant time and money:
 
• educating people about America’s vast and renewable forest resources
• raising the bar on the sourcing of legal products
• leading efforts to expand tree replacement on national forests
• converting wood waste to energy

and last but not least…

• taking an industry leadership role in providing customers with environmentally conscious “green” products from around the world

Anderson’s vision statement has always been, “Replace what you take, and leave the place better than you found it.”

Congratulations to Anderson Hardwood Floors, Inc.
