People are exposed to chemicals in the built environment of our homes, schools, and workplaces by not only through breathing, but also through dermal absorption and through our mouth, eyes, and nose when we touch our faces after picking up chemicals of concern from furnishings on our hands. CEH harnesses the purchasing power of multimillion-dollar institutions to reduce toxic chemical exposures in the built environment. Our team advises large-scale purchasers, such as publicly traded corporations, school districts, universities, and hospital chains, on how to procure healthy furniture, carpet, and flooring. CEH does this through providing procurement officers and other executives with one-on-one consulting, customized technical assistance, webinars, and user-friendly product guides. We help organizations move from intention to policy to implementation.  In addition, CEH utilizes our Purchaser Pledge as a powerful tool for change for empowering purchasers to buy furniture that does not contain the “Hazardous Handful.” The companies that have signed the Pledge—including Kaiser Permanente, LinkedIn, and the University of California system—collectively spend more than $500 million annually on furniture. Through our work, CEH harmonizes diverse purchasing voices across these sectors into one strong message to manufacturers that the best way to sell more furniture, carpet or flooring is to remove the toxic chemicals from the products.
