Robert Johnson, Environmental Leader, Rejoins Thermostat Recycling Corp. Board of Directors

New York — Robert Johnson, manager of Environmental Affairs at Lennox
International Inc., has rejoined Thermostat Recycling Corp.’s (TRC) Board of
Directors as treasurer effective October, 2020.
“We are pleased to welcome Bob back to TRC’s board of directors,” said
Danielle Myers, operations and compliance manager, TRC.
“He brings with him a wealth of experience, a strategic view that supports our
mission and a strong commitment to environmental stewardship.”
“I’m delighted to return to the board of directors at TRC,” said Johnson.
“Today, we take it for granted that to run a business soundly and successfully,
you need to implement effective environmental policies.
“Companies recognize that the environmental component is now a vital part of
all business functions. TRC has done an outstanding job facilitating mercury
recycling through its collection programs, and part of its success is the approach
it uses to offer a process that makes it easy for contractors to drop off old units.
Johnson first became involved with TRC in 2008. He served on the board as
treasurer from 2011 to 2016.
Johnson has held environmental positions for the past 30-years. At Lennox, he
is responsible for supporting its North American distribution network as well
as directing the company’s hazardous materials transportation compliance
program.
Before joining Lennox, he spent eight years in charge of the corporate
environmental program for a major air cargo company.
