"I needed this. I needed to know like-minded people are working toward a progressive solution." "I've been at this a long time. I see many familiar faces, but I see new faces, too, and it's exciting to see new energy come into this conversation. The game board will continue to change; this is hard stuff we're trying to do, and we need each other. Many people don't get to do work connected to their values. Let's step into that power and let the change continue." "We are fostering the emergence of a more sustainable society. I got into this work through buildings, but when we talk about materials, we talk about whole economies. Not just one building site, but the whole world." "We are moving #mindfulMATERIALS from an idea to a thing. From an idea to an instrument that will create this transformation we'll all want to be part of." "Most outcomes today weren't nouns, but working groups — people working together. We'll figure this out as long as it continues to be a collaborative process." "Let's show them what crazy can do." We wrapped the second annual Forum Summit on Wednesday after an amazing Day 2 spent wrestling movement building and advancing tech and data. "This is our opportunity to co-develop shared solutions, that support us all in achieving our vision of the 'Materials' Easy Button', and support our businesses to be successful together," said Annie Bevan, mM CEO. Stay tuned for more from this truly unprecedented event.

"The full #CommonMaterialsFramework is integrated into EVERY tool my team uses for material selection and specification." Yesterday, we convened in sector-specific groups to lay out visions of what the "Materials' Easy Button" would do for us all (see above for just one 💡 example). Today, we introduce cross-sector collaboration to enable scalable solutions for selecting healthier materials. Day two of the Forum Summit starts now 👏🏻👏🏻

We soft-launched our second annual Forum Summit last night with an evening of reconnecting, networking, and engaging in meaningful conversations (we couldn't help ourselves) about the future of the built environment. Now, let’s use all of this tremendous experience and the work done to date to create scalable ecosystem solutions that will enable the "materials' easy button,” holistically reducing the global impact of the built environment. #ForumSummit2024 #mindfulMATERIALS #MaterialsEasyButton #SustainableMaterials

Today's the day! Looking forward to reconnecting with industry peers on-stage at #HCD sharing how each of us are working towards aligning the industry and advancing the adoption of sustainable materials. If you're at the conference, stop by the Solutions Theater at 10:15 to learn how mindful MATERIALS Common Materials Framework has ignited industry collaboration around an aligned ask and an "easy button" for selecting sustainable building products.
