Imperative Overview

INTENT

Living Products demonstrate commitment to human thriving at manufacturing facilities. Manufacturers commit to supporting the health and wellbeing of their frontline employees through health-based initiatives and connection to nature.

REQUIREMENTS

Living Products are made in facilities that contribute to an active, healthy lifestyle and are designed to nurture the innate connection between humans and nature.

Manufacturers must complete each of the following actions:

• Provide sufficient and frequent human-nature interactions for the employees who are manufacturing the product; connect them with nature directly and encourage an active, healthy lifestyle.
• Demonstrate that there have been no reported deaths or serious injuries related to the final manufacturing of the product within the last 12 months.
• Demonstrate that there are programs in place to support the health and well-being of employees who are manufacturing the product.
• Provide mechanisms for employees to offer feedback to improve facility conditions and collaboratively build a thriving environment for everyone.
  

CHANGES FROM LPC 1.1 TO 2.0

This Imperative did not change significantly. IAQ testing requirements were put into place at the facility level. Employee feedback mechanisms were expanded beyond just a survey option to reflect the different ways manufacturers may solicit input from their employees.
