The Material Health Value Proposition
Today, manufacturers at the forefront of Green Building are providing full transparency about their products&rsquo; ingredients, leading to exciting new business opportunities. Material Health is now seen as an essential part of leadership in green build projects, empowering building product manufacturers and AECO practitioners with easy access to detailed content information about building product materials, with more than 800 manufacturers now using HPDs to provide material transparency data on over 40,000 products.&nbsp; &nbsp;
For manufacturers like Carnegie Fabrics, creating product HPDs increased competitive advantages and revenue growth. HPDs build trust and provide your customers with essential information needed to select products that meet their healthy building requirements. Says Charles Griffen of Carnegie Fabrics, &ldquo;We saw significant revenue growth doing HPDs. Having the information clients were looking for opened big doors!&rdquo;&nbsp;
For design firms like HDR Architects, HPDs are a proven pathway to meet healthy building requirements, and are accepted documentation for green building certifications, such as LEED, WELL, ILFI and others. The free HPD Public Repository contains thousands of products to choose from. Says Jean Hanson of HDR Architects, &ldquo;We utilize HPDs to meet our client needs, comparing material health information to make product decisions that achieve our client&rsquo;s goals!&rdquo;
Creating and using HPDs signals your commitment to a healthier built environment - an essential component for success today. ESG investors, shareholders, financiers, and stakeholders are now factoring a company&rsquo;s green build footprint as a significant part of their brand value.
We are HPD Collaborative - a non-profit, member organization &ndash; and we&rsquo;re here to help you every step of the way. Access our <a href="https://learning.hpd-collaborative.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">free learning courses</a> and let's get started together!

At USGBC, we're committed to transforming how our buildings are designed, constructed and operated through LEED, the world&rsquo;s most widely used green building system, with more than 100,000 buildings participating today.
Our vision is that buildings and communities will regenerate and sustain the health and vitality of all life within a generation. Our mission is to transform how buildings and communities are designed, built and operated, enabling an environmentally and socially responsible, healthy, and prosperous environment that improves the quality of life.&nbsp;
LEED-certified buildings are proven to save money, improve efficiency, lower carbon emissions and create healthier places for people. They are critical in addressing the climate crisis, meeting ESG goals, enhancing resilience, and supporting more equitable communities. Today, green building has grown into a trillion-dollar industry, and USGBC&rsquo;s members are leading these efforts.

who we are.
mindful MATERIALS Inc. is dedicated to reducing, and ultimately reversing, the embodied impacts of the built environment through our collective material choices.
mindful MATERIALS furthers its mission through a global cross-sector collaboration hub, who convene to share learning and drive better materials decisions around an industry-aligned common materials framework for health, sustainability, and resilience. That framework will live in our curated materials Portal and be broadly integrated into industry tools, platforms, resources, education, and advocacy.
Everything we work on at mindful MATERIALS, in partnership with our volunteer community, is built by the industry, for the industry. What we build is designed to help built environment professionals stop redoing work, and start taking more mindful action to manufacture and select materials.
