ICC Evaluation Service (ICC-ES) and Sustainable Minds announced the launch of a new strategic initiative aimed at promoting product transparency—focusing on environmental performance and material health—as well as conformity assessment within the high-performance building design and construction sectors.

This collaboration between two forward-thinking organizations is designed to enhance the building industry by supporting product manufacturers, architects, engineers, contractors, facility managers, building owners, and code officials. Together, they will drive awareness and increase the adoption of innovative, high-performance, code-compliant building materials and products that prioritize safety, sustainability, and transparency.
