David Hauck

David Hauck is the former chair of the Montgomery County Sierra Club and currently serves on the Sierra Club Executive Committee for the Montgomery Group. He has worked on the innovative Cool Cities/Cool Counties campaign that seeks to address climate change by encouraging local governments to commit to substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and document reductions through annual greenhouse gas inventories.  He has a broad range of experience in assessing companies’ environmental and social performance.  During his 15 years at the Investor Responsibility Research Center (IRRC), Hauck headed IRRC’s South Africa Review Service which produced in-depth reports on the labor practices and community activities of more than one hundred companies with operations in that country. Later, at Green Seal, he worked closely with environmental organizations, research scientists and leading manufacturers to develop criteria that  were used to identify environmentally preferable products. David was named as one of the “40 Environmentalists Who Made a Difference in 40 Years” by the Montgomery County Council in 2010.
