Why Philanthropic Support Matters

Unrestricted charitable contributions allow Building Transparency to steward EC3 as global public infrastructure – maintaining open access, improving data quality, expanding global EPD coverage, and responding quickly to emerging standards, policy, and market needs.

This flexible support is essential to ensuring EC3 remains trusted, neutral, and freely available to the global building, infrastructure, and construction community. Learn more about what it takes to maintain EC3.

Charitable giving levels may be met through cash contributions and/or approved in-kind support. All contributions support Building Transparency’s mission and EC3 as a public good and do not provide preferential access, services, or commercial advantage.
Organizations are encouraged to contribute at a level reflective of their size, capacity, and level of engagement with BT’s data, tools, and programs.
