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.

What if we could calculate the societal costs that result from the impact of commercial products on the health of their users? A new paper from our team at Building H demonstrates a methodology for doing just that. And for some companies, the numbers are gigantic.
