Declare

What is the Declare Label?

Declare is an internationally recognized transparency platform to disclose and discover healthy building products. Like a nutrition label for products, Declare shows customers that our product is one they can trust. The building industry accounts for 39% of global carbon emissions every year. Our clients and consumers have been demanding greater transparency and more decisive action against climate change and its effects on human health. By achieving the Declare label, we align ourselves with over 200 diverse manufacturers across 23 CSI specification sections, meeting the market's demand for stringent transparency.

The Declare label is the only product label that combines material transparency and the Living Building Challenge Red List, distilling intricate chemical ingredient information into a comprehensible label and screening it against the Red List.

Designers rely on this label to select sustainable and health-conscious products and use it as a tool to advocate for the inclusion of our products in their projects. Additionally, it offers a pathway for our product to contribute to initiatives such as the Living Building Challenge.
