Sustainability data doesn't live in one place — it's scattered across HPDs, EPDs, Declare labels, and a dozen different platforms, each speaking its own dialect. mindful MATERIALS' 2025 Data Ecosystem Report laid out a vision for connecting these dots: manufacturers as "Givers" of product data, technology platforms as "Receivers," and the Common Materials Framework (CMF) as the shared language in between.
This session moves that vision from paper to practice. Six leading technology platforms — Sustainable Minds, Ecomedes, Building Ease, Acelab, Green Badger, and Material Bank — join mM to unpack a newly developed, CMF-aligned common data schema that connects product impact data down to the individual datapoint level within the Climate Health and Human Health impact areas. Panelists will share why they're piloting cross-platform data sharing, what it took to align on a shared schema, and what's still standing in the way of a truly interoperable data ecosystem.
The session will also spotlight what a connected data ecosystem makes possible for reporting: streamlined compliance with programs like the AIA Materials Pledge. Melanie DeCola of AIA joins the panel to share highlights from the latest AIA Materials Pledge Reporting, publicly releasing the week before Greenbuild. Panelists will discuss how CMF-aligned data flowing through their platforms simplifies and accelerates Materials Pledge reporting for firms — reducing manual tracking and giving teams a clearer, faster path to measuring progress against their commitments.
Attendees will leave with a clear picture of how this pilot works in practice, what the newest Materials Pledge numbers reveal about industry progress, and what it means for anyone trying to streamline reporting and make faster, better-informed material decisions — regardless of which platform they use.
