Stego Sustainability Report
INDUSTRY LEADERSHIP
Signatory of the Manufacturer Materials Commitment — inspired by the AIA Materials Pledge, the Manufacturer Materials Commitment allows leading building product manufacturers to “demonstrate industry leadership and in spire meaningful dialogue with the larger green building community”. 3 The commitment unifies Stego with other progressive manufacturers behind a common goal of creating materials that support a more sustainable built environment. We pledge to work collaboratively to understand, benchmark, transparently disclose, and seek improvement toward materials that support climate, human, ecosystem, and social health, as well as fit within a circular economy. In signing this commitment, we establish a level of accountability on continu ing to drive sustainability efforts, both internally and across our value chain. Member of the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) — the USGBC mission is “to transform the way buildings and communities are designed, built, and operated, enabling an environmentally and socially responsible, healthy, and prosperous environment that improves the quality of life.” 4 As a Member of the USGBC, we are pleased to help advance this mission.

Supporting a Sustainable Future
We are particularly proud of our collaboration with organizations working to help chart the built environment’s path toward a more sustainable future: Sponsor of mindful MATERIALS (mM) — mM offers both a healthy product database (Portal) and global collaboration hub with a vision to help develop “a materials economy that respects and protects the health of all people, com munities, and ecosystems.” 1 mM has brought together the best and brightest minds in the building environment’s healthy materials economy to create a common definition of what makes sustainable building products — the Com mon Materials Framework (CMF). Stego is a proud early sponsor of mM and trusts that our financial support furthers their mission to “inspire, motivate and empower everyone to choose materials that prioritize health holistically.” 1 Health Product Declaration ® Collaborative Member (HPDC) — the HPDC is committed to “ensuring that transparency and ingredient disclosure are fun damental to doing business in the materials ecosystem.” 2 As a HPDC Member and past participant of the Manufacturer Advisory Panel (MAP), Stego has been involved in the development of the HPD Open Standard and our member dues help to support a marketplace where “everyone is empowered to make informed decisions about the materials used to construct the places where we live, work, play, learn, and heal.” 2
