The Hammock Blog

At Hammock we support partners who, like us, have a heart for the environment. Today we congratulate printing partner Quad/Graphics on receiving LEED certification for their manufacturing facility and headquarters in Sussex, Wis. Quad prints MyBusiness magazine for our client the National Federation of Independent Business.

This environmental accomplishment is part of an ongoing effort by Quad to transform all of its manufacturing sites to green buildings. The U.S. Green Building Council created the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System to set standards for environmentally sustainable construction.

We applaud Quad’s commitment to the environment and wish them luck on their green mission as they continue to work to make their nine other facilities LEED-certified too.

Hammock is enjoying the not-so-lazy days of summer—growing bountiful gardens and catching up on our book lists. The July/August issue of American Spirit, the national magazine we publish for the Daughters of the American Revolution, offers hints for planning another favorite summer activity: family reunions.
