Red2Green
Better Materials Management
Red2Green (R2G) was developed by the Materially Better team to support our consulting practices, enhance our services, and provide the best sustainability outcome on every project. This healthier materials and project management platform enables project teams to select products that align with the Common Materials Framework and affirm the AIA Materials Pledge. Offering real-time reporting at all stages—from planning, RFPs, and design through construction and renovation—everyone on your team can access up-to-the-minute information. R2G offers a fluid and customizable workflow so each team member can easily access the information most relevant to their role on the project.
When you employ our consulting services, you also employ the power of R2G. If you are looking for a more self-reliant approach, we’ll guide you through R2G best practices to prepare your team to manage materials selection and project workflow independently. The choice is yours. How can we help?

Consulting Empowered by Effective Data
Red2Green is a powerful tool for designing healthier buildings. The software, along with guidance from Materially Better consultants, has challenged us to make the best design choices for our projects while also advocating for manufacturers to enhance their processes, refine their ingredients, and provide greater transparency in ingredient documentation.
Effectively Aligning Teams to Project Goals
The Materially Better team’s work during the Construction document phase of the Living Village project at Yale University was a game-changer. Their checklists and Pre-Submittal forms ensured subconsultants were aligned with our sustainability goals from the start. The Materially Better team has continued to be a tremendous source of support, helping us stay on track and aligned through every project change.
We work with some of the most forward-thinking and pioneering design teams, construction managers, sustainability consultants, and owners in the world.
