Anderson Foundation Launches Website

Atlanta, GA, Aug. 9, 2012 -- The Ray C. Anderson Foundation has launched its new website www.raycandersonfoundation.org to spread the message championed by Interface, Inc. founder and sustainability icon, Ray Anderson.

Anderson was named by Fortune Magazine as America's Greenest CEO.

"We really wanted to honor our father's life by re-focusing on how the foundation can continue his legacy," said Mary Anne Lanier, trustee and daughter of Anderson.

"This launch is just the beginning for us. We already have plans in place to expand the site as an educational resource and are looking forward to issuing our first grant Request for Proposals in 2013."

Anderson was globally acclaimed as the industrial pioneer who sought to transform his petroleum-dependent carpet manufacturing company into an industrial leader in the quest for a sustainable enterprise.

"Ray was the most visionary, inspiring and effective green industrialist of the late 20th and early 21st century, if not of all time," said Amory Lovins of the Rocky Mountain Institute.

The Foundation said it wants to use the website as a vehicle to fund research projects that promote new developments in the sustainable manufacturing cycle.
