In his work developing the Common Materials Framework, Jack worked with hundreds of manufacturers, academic experts, industry leaders, and over 600 EPD and Materials Passport providers to organize thousands of complex product screening criteria into five criteria: human health, climate health, ecosystem health, social health & equity, and a circular economy.
Jack is driven to support project teams serving vulnerable populations, including affordable housing residents, fence line communities, young children and infants, and those who are most affected by the toxic chemicals in building materials.
Jack’s work has been recognized through an invitation to the United Nations Global Compact Leaders Summit, the Alpha Rho Chi Medal for leadership and professional merit, and election to the inaugural class of AIANY’s Civic Leadership Program.
