Mindful Materials Partnership
Connect better materials decisions to the complete sustainability record.
Green Badger brings mindful MATERIALS’ Common Materials Framework into the same platform construction teams use to manage LEED, ESG, waste, IAQ and other sustainability requirements.
Choosing healthier, lower-impact materials is only the beginning.
Material goals can easily get lost between specification and installation. Project teams are often left tracking product information across spreadsheets, submittals, manufacturer documents, and reporting systems, reorganizing and entering the same information multiple times. Green Badger helps architects, contractors, owners, and sustainability teams keep material priorities, documentation, and project activity connected throughout construction.
Organize materials around shared priorities
Green Badger uses the mindful MATERIALS Common Materials Framework to organize materials information across five impact areas.
One framework, aligned across the industry’s leading programs
The CMF supports greater alignment across the industry’s leading green building programs.
LEED
USGBC used the framework to help guide the evolution of LEED v5’s materials credits and align them around broader impacts.
Living Future
Living Future is basing updates to the Living Building Challenge and product programs like Declare and Living Product Challenge on the CMF’s structure.
WELL
International WELL Building Institute is doing the same within the WELL Building Standard, ensuring consistency across health- and sustainability-focused certifications.
From material goals to measurable results
Green Badger follows the natural rhythm of your project; so documentation happens alongside construction, not after it.
Organize materials around shared priorities
Green Badger uses the mindful MATERIALS Common Materials Framework to organize materials information across the five impact areas — so every product on the project speaks the same language.
Carry requirements into construction
Keep material goals visible as products move through specification, submittal review, procurement, and installation.
Document and report what was delivered
Collect supporting documentation, track progress, and create a clear record of how installed materials align with the project’s sustainability goals.
Green Badger + mindful MATERIALS
Together, Green Badger and mindful MATERIALS help teams connect materials information to the rest of the project’s sustainability work, reducing manual effort and making outcomes easier to document and report.
mindful MATERIALS provides the common language.
The Common Materials Framework brings consistency to how the building industry organizes, understands, and communicates material sustainability information.
Green Badger puts it to work.
As a mindful MATERIALS technology partner, Green Badger integrates the CMF into the workflows where project teams manage construction, compliance, and reporting.
Materials tracking, answered.
What is the Common Materials Framework?
The Common Materials Framework (CMF) is mindful MATERIALS’ shared structure for organizing material sustainability information across five impact areas: Climate Health, Human Health, Ecosystem Health, Social Health and Equity, and Circularity.
Does my project need to be part of mindful MATERIALS to use this?
No, your project does not need to be officially part of mindful MATERIALS to use Green Badger for tracking and managing sustainable products and building materials.
How does the CMF relate to LEED v5 materials credits?
USGBC used the CMF to guide the evolution of LEED v5’s materials credits. Specifically, LEED v5’s flagship Building Product Selection and Procurement credit relies on the CMF’s five core impact pillars—Human Health, Climate Health, Ecosystem Health, Social Health & Equity, and Circular Economy—to structure its multi-attribute scoring framework. Green Badger bridges the gap between CMF data and LEED v5 credit calculations by standardizing product data into actionable points.
Make better materials easier to deliver.
With Green Badger, your team can turn CMF-aligned material priorities into documented project outcomes:
Keep material goals visible throughout the project
Connect design intent with construction activity
Reduce spreadsheet tracking and document searches
Give project stakeholders a shared view of progress
Maintain a documented record of installed materials
Connect materials information with project, certification, and organizational reporting
