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.

There are three options for dealing with the mismatch between our genomes and the modern world we’ve created: 1) marshal the resources of our vast health care system to treat all the resulting illness; 2) change the environment such that it doesn’t exploit our genetic misalignment by design; or, behind door number 3 – change the humans so that we are less vulnerable to the toxic environment we’ve created.
