The Sustainable Minds data team, experts in material health and environmental reporting, continually updates and curates content to include EVERY building product MFR in N. America creating EPDs and/or material ingredient disclosures from EVERY program operator in N. America and EVERY material ingredient disclosure program (HPD, Declare, C2C, Level and more) identified by any of the green building rating systems that reward product transparency.
The Transparency Catalog is the product transparency cloud solution that makes it super easy to find & specify greener and healthier products for high-performance buildings — and reward building product manufacturers for making them.
“As a Materials Pledge signatory, we are constantly searching for the best tools to connect us with the MFRs investing in transparency. The Transparency Catalog streamlines our efforts and saves us critical time by providing a one-stop shop with up to date information, powerful filtering and a very user-friendly interface with easy to understand guidance.”
– Jay Hindmarsh AIA, CDT, CCS, LEED AP, WELL AP, Associate Principal, Mahlum Architects
"The Transparency Catalog has been an important additional tool toward achieving our firm-wide goals toward a non-toxic, environmentally preferable, and more transparent materials market. The robust and easy-to-find data helps streamline our process and allows designers to spend more time focused on design rather than data-mining."
– Tori Wickard AIA, LEED AP, Project Architect, Associate, Co-Leader Material Performance Taskforce, Perkins & Will
"Sustainable Minds continues to up the game in product transparency with v3.0. With increased functionality and even more integration of GAF product data and information, they are providing an even better tool for our customers and business partners to find and select our products."
– Jeff Terry, VP, CSR & Sustainability, GAF Materials Corporation
