I-16: Equitable Investment – Above Green

Living Products contribute to the financial well-being of their local communities. Manufacturers must give back through product and monetary donations to ensure the economic success from product sales contributes more broadly to the well-being of the whole community.

For every dollar of gross revenue generated annually by the sale of the product, manufacturers must donate one-quarter of one cent, or the equivalent value in product donation, to a charity27 that promotes human health and well-being.

When relevant, manufacturers must offer building products to Affordable Housing projects at price parity with similar products in its category.
