West Grove, PA – Since its infancy, Hugh Lofting Timber Framing has been committed to providing high quality products, honest and ethical business practices, environmental responsibility and concern for the community. Certified B Corporations meet higher standards of social and environmental performance and accountability. The company became a B Corporation to align itself with other companies who are succeeding and doing good; proving that the two goals are not mutually exclusive. Unlike traditional corporations, Certified B Corporations are legally required to consider the impact of their decisions on the long term interests of their employees, suppliers, community, consumers, and environment and are held to a set of comprehensive and transparent performance standards that are measured by a third party. They measure a company's impact on its employees, suppliers, community, and the environment and underscore the need for continual improvement. Long a proponent of building with the environment, Hugh Lofting said, "It was important for us to reflect our company mission in how we measure company results and how we conduct day-to-day operations. We feel that taking a holistic view develops strong partnerships with clients, vendors and employees and results in better projects." Becoming a B Corporation fits the company focus on sustainable construction techniques and materials. "More and more clients are asking how to incorporate elements of green into their homes. Almost all of the commercial projects we see specify FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified woods and many plan to seek LEED certification," says Lofting. Amy Cornelius, a member of our staff earned her LEED-AP from the US Green Building Council so that we could help our clients better understand green and their homes' impact on the earth. Today the company provides green consulting to clients as well as Construction Management services for LEED projects. "We continue to be on the forefront of the green building movement and have the experience to help our clients in many ways," says Cornelius.
