AIA Materials Pledge
You Signed the AIA Materials Pledge. Now Make It Real.
Green Badger gives architects and design firms the tools to track, document, and report on every pledge commitment, without spreadsheets, guesswork, or extra hours. You made a commitment to human health, climate action, and a circular economy. Green Badger is the leading sustainability software platform for architecture and construction teams. We understand the AIA Materials Pledge reporting process, and we've built the tools to help you fulfill it with confidence.
One set of product documentation. Two reporting obligations met.
Green Badger tracks both layers, product attributes for LEED and company-level standards for the pledge, in one workflow. The LEED v5 Optimized Product credit is organized around the same five impact areas as the Materials Pledge: Human Health, Social Health & Equity, Ecosystem Health, Climate Health, and Circular Economy. Every eco-label recognized in the Optimized Product credit also counts toward your pledge report.
LEED v5: Product-level credit mechanics
- Optimized Product point thresholds
- Credit documentation & submittal formats
- Project-level certification tracking
The overlap that does your reporting
- Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs)
- Health Product Declarations (HPDs)
- Declare labels
- Cradle to Cradle certification
- The same five impact areas
Pledge: Company-level commitments
- Just labels
- B-Corp status
- Additional pledge-recognized eco-labels
- Firm-wide Materials Action Plan
