FAQs about MRc3 :

The credit language says “Products meeting recycled content criteria are valued at 100% of their cost for the purposes of credit achievement calculation.” How much recycled content has to be in a product for 100% of its cost to count toward credit achieve

Is there any way around the requirement that no more than 30% of the materials used to meet Option 2 be structure and enclosure items?

If Sustainable Agricultural Network (SAN) certification isn’t required for agricultural products to comply with Option 2, does the manufacturer still have to provide documentation of third-party verification?

For the manufacturer “take-back” pathway under Option 2, does the extended producer responsibility program have to be run by the manufacturer?

Are there other ways the products can contribute to Option 1?

Can Corporate Sustainability Reports from the manufacturers of the products I’ve selected help me achieve the Option 1 point for “raw material source and extraction reporting?”

Hello! U.N. Global Compact - Communication of Progress is a LEED compliant CSR frameworks. Although, I have a questions regarding CSR requirements, when complaying with UN Global Compact: Must this CSR comply also with GRI requirements and verification? According to the reference guide, a "signed letter from the manufacturer on company letterhead attesting to conformance with the credit requirements" is required. Could it replace the third-party verification? Thank you!!

It's a little confusing, but that's not how I read it. I think it's saying you can do the UN Global Compact reporting through the GRI verification program to get the credit.
