Being green.
It’s always been the right thing to do.
But wasn’t always economically sensible. • Today,
however, green doesn’t mean more expensive and less effective.
Rather, it means green as in cash to the bottom line for both customers
and RPM. • The green revolution that is stirring is being driven on many fronts.
Growing worldwide energy demands. Tight energy supplies and thus increasing costs.
Government rules and regulations. Green labeling programs of major retailers. • But with
these situations, opportunities for RPM’s operating companies sprout forth. Dryvit’s exterior
insulation and finish systems are among the most energy efficient building cladding available,
saving an average of 25 percent on a building’s heating and cooling costs. Vegetative roofing systems
from Tremco improve air quality through reduced greenhouse gases. DAP’s Building Green Living Green
section on its web site (www.dap.com) offers consumers money- and energy-saving ideas. Wind turbine
components manufactured by Fibergrate’s joint venture in India produce renewable energy. • These are but a
few of the many ways RPM’s operating companies are poised to harvest the benefits of what they have sown with
products and services that use recycled materials, conserve energy, produce power and sustain the environment.
