August 31, 1994 could have been just like any other day at work, but for Jim Hartzfeld, it was cataclysmic. Seated in the audience as Ray Anderson began to deliver a speech that would change his life and the life of his company, it became crystal clear to Jim, the chemical-engineer-turned-marketing-executive: It all had to change.
Since that day, “EcoJim” as he has come to be known, has embraced sustainability as a way of life. Finding his place at this intersection of head and heart, Jim has championed sustainable enterprise as the right and smart thing to do, first at Interface and then with groups like the U.S. Green Building Council, an organization he chaired for two years. For over a decade serving as Sr. Vice President of Interface Research Corporation and Vice President of Sustainable Strategy for Interface Flooring Systems, Jim has been pursuing the objective of equipping others through education and knowledge to make sustainability understandable and accessible in the marketplace.
Jim has worked with such organizations as the US Green Building Council, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, and the President’s Council on Sustainable Development (PCSD) where he served as Ray Anderson’s liaison.
Jim’s enthusiasm and conviction make him a sought after speaker throughout the world. His informative and motivational speeches cover such topics as the sustainability business case, corporate culture change, environmental impact of buildings, LEED certification, the US Green Building Council, selling sustainability to your clients, and more. He has been quoted in numerous publications, including Wall Street and Fortune Magazine, and co-authored Interface’s globally recognized Sustainability Report with Paul Hawken and others.
Formerly with Conoco Oil Company and DuPont, Jim holds a degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Missouri and an MBA from the Goizueta Business School of Emory University.
