A little over a year ago, the The American Institute of Architects (AIA)'s Materials Pledge Working Group and staff convened ahead of Greenbuild 2023 to begin to establish the program's metrics and reporting structure. It's been a busy year - and I'm thrilled to showcase our program's first public report, the AIA Materials Pledge By the Numbers (RY23)! https://lnkd.in/e2AWQPp9 ??The AIA Materials Pledge convenes almost 300 signatory architecture and design firms that are dedicated to transforming the way industry towards holistic healthy materials selection. Not yet a signatory?

And the journey continues! Next year’s upcoming reporting cycle will be February 1-May 31, 2025. Ready to take action and join us?
