Ballinger Reinforces Commitment to Healthier Materials and Transparency
Share
Ballinger recently completed reporting for AIA’s Architecture & Design Materials Pledge, marking continued progress in our commitment to more responsible material selection and specification.
The Materials Pledge provides a shared framework for evaluating building products across five impact areas: supporting human, social, ecosystem, and climate health, while advancing a more circular economy. Through annual reporting, signatories track progress and contribute to a broader industry effort to align design decisions with measurable environmental and social outcomes.
"The Materials Pledge reflects a shift in the industry toward transparency, accountability, and better outcomes for people and the environment."
Ballinger completed firm-, project-, and product-level reporting, requiring meaningful input from project team members committed to advancing this work. Our participation builds on our ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship and high-performance design. As signatories of the AIA 2030 Commitment, Architects Declare, MEP 2040, and SE 2050, we view the Materials Pledge as an important extension of our work, helping to bring greater clarity and consistency to how materials are evaluated across projects.
