Does the Declare program (and therefore products with Declare labels) fall under the "other USGBC approved programs" for meeting Option 1 for Material Ingredient Reporting?

Hi, Laci! Good question.It's my understanding that Declare is in the process of becoming a USGBC-approved program. When the official announcement will be made I do not know.That said, since we don't have the details yet, keep in mind that a Declare label in itself does not necessarily meet the credit intent, as some people have released them with only 99% of ingredients disclosed, or with proprietary ingredients. So you can probably plan on Declare being acceptable soon, but there may be nuances to which Declare labels count once the official guidance appears. Hope this helps!
