Working to
make everyday life healthy,
by design.
We help companies own their outcome.
Building H is a nonprofit research group dedicated to changing the product environment so that it creates health, not disease.
We believe that everyday life - the food we eat, the entertainment we consume, the transportation we use, the communities we live in - should make it easier to be healthy, not harder.
We believe that all companies should account for and be accountable for how their products impact human health.
We measure the impacts of products, services, and companies on the health of consumers.

We all know that fast food and 24/7 entertainment and the resulting sedentary lifestyles can lead to a suite of chronic illnesses. And caring for those illnesses creates a societal cost. But we rarely try to quantify that harm and especially not at the level of an individual company. So that’s what we did.
