Bill Hayward

Bill is CEO and Chief Sustainability Officer of Hayward Lumber, a 100-year-old California lumber and building material supplier. To accelerate the industry's commitment to sustainable forestry, he chaired the board of the Forest Stewardship Council US from 2005-2010.

Having scored over 80,000 homes, his team has developed the largest study available correlating self-reported symptoms with housing characteristics and occupant habits. His goal is to demonstrate the business case for all dwellings to be healthy, durable and energy efficient.
