ANN ARBOR, MICH.—NSF International, a leader in greenhouse gas verification and sustainable standards development, has appointed Malcolm Fox Director of Sustainability Programs. Climate change poses many challenges and risks to businesses worldwide. As Director of NSF International’s Sustainability Programs, Fox can help companies mitigate these risks by measuring and managing carbon emissions and their potential costs.
NSF International’s Sustainability Programs are designed to eliminate confusion in the marketplace by creating credible and transparent sustainability services. NSF’s sustainability services include standards development and certification for sustainable products, greenhouse gas verification, and environmental footprinting. Companies that achieve certification through NSF International are able to substantiate carbon emission and product claims through an independent, third-party organization.
Fox has more than 20 years of experience in environmental management and governance programs for major manufacturers and their global supply chains. He has worked as an environmental consultant in North America and Europe, concentrating on issues related to corporate environmental compliance, performance, and governance. He founded two companies specializing in supply chain management and automotive compliance in the United States and United Kingdom, and is the former president of the Michigan Association of Environmental Professionals.
Fox was appointed to director of NSF International’s Sustainability Program after previously serving as vice president of Trucost North America, a leading environmental data provider. Fox played a key role in the NSF International/Trucost alliance, where he managed the integration of Trucost’s environmental footprinting capabilities into NSF International’s existing portfolio of sustainability services. Together, NSF International and Trucost provide performance data that brings environmental management into corporate strategy as firms achieve true sustainability.
“There is pressure on U.S. businesses to execute and maintain sustainable operations and offer green products and services,” said Kevan P. Lawlor, NSF International president and CEO. “Increasingly, consumers are demanding greater transparency and independent verification of corporate social responsibility reporting and environmental claims made by manufactures and retailers. Using both his financial and environmental expertise, Malcolm can provide businesses with strategic solutions on how to manage their environmental performance more effectively.”
