Green building certifications like Green Star and LEED provide frameworks for measuring environmental, social, and economic performance. However, true sustainability requires a holistic approach, integrating ethical sourcing, material health, and social responsibility through tools like EPDs, PHDs, and GreenRate to address broader impacts and ensure long-term value.

Green Certification Demystified: A Holistic Approach to Integrating Sustainable Building Products in Design examines the connection between green building standards and the certifications that drive sustainable product choices. With a better understanding of how different product certifications support specific sustainability goals, professionals can create spaces that prioritise the health and well-being of occupants while fostering ethical practices and reducing negative impacts on workers and communities.
