Harvard regularly translates research into practice to protect human health and model climate action on campus (27M square feet of real estate) and throughout our supply chain. Launched in 2016, Harvard’s Healthier Building Academy seeks to design, build, and operate healthier buildings including eliminating fossil fuels (by 2050) and identifying and reducing “petrochemical classes of concern” that pose health risks in the supply chain.

From this foundation, Harvard is forming innovative partnerships with large organizations, government, and non-profits to collectively send clear market signals and scale a healthier supply chain to address climate, health, and equity the built environment. In this panel, you will hear from Harvard faculty and leaders working to align an approach to healthier, more sustainable supply chains.
