NC-v4 MRc3: Building product disclosure and optimization - sourcing of raw materials
Hello,
Tarkett, a flooring company, states that their CSR report meets LEED's sourcing of raw material option.

I was not able to find the raw material supplier extraction locations in the report though. Any thoughts?

I would not count on this passing muster. That part of the credit is being retooled significantly, and I don't think CSRs are hitting it yet. It's probably worth submitting, but I would discount its value in terms of getting your point.

Hi Paula.
Thank you for your input!
I'm aware of the implementation guidance of option 3. Is there any document about the changes on option 1?

You're welcome, Dionisio!
I'm curious whether you are asking about another credit (this one doesn't have an option 3) or if you meant to say option 2. If the former, let's move the convo to that credit.

I mixed up with another credit - sorry.
By the way, what do you mean by "that part of the credit is being retooled"?

Dionisio, the transparency option needs to be rewritten to ensure it's achievable. I wish I had more details to offer!
