CEH harnesses the purchasing power of large corporations and other institutions to improve indoor air quality and public health by combatting the five “Hazardous Handful” chemicals (flame retardants, fluorinated stain treatments, antimicrobials, PVC, and formaldehyde) in furniture and more than 20 harmful chemicals and materials in carpet and flooring. Our team helps procurement officers, executives, and decision-makers every step of the way by prototyping solutions that are tailored to the organization’s unique needs. This turns off the tap of harmful chemicals that are entering the workplace through the inadvertent selection of toxic furnishings. CEH also reaches hundreds of large purchasers each year through our educational webinars, industry presentations, and user-friendly product guides. The purchasers’ commitment to select healthier products signals to their suppliers that the best way to sell more furniture and flooring is to remove the toxic chemicals from the products.  A vital tool is our Purchaser Pledge where organizations commit to buying healthier alternatives for their massive furniture purchases. Leveraging the multimillion-dollar purchasing budgets of Pledge signers such as Kaiser Permanente, LinkedIn, Genentech, and Harvard University, we apply pressure to the supply chain to eliminate toxic products by squeezing out the demand.
