Program Overview

The Living Product Challenge is structured within seven Petals, or spheres of influence: Place, Water, Energy, Health + Happiness, Materials, Equity, and Beauty. Each petal is therein comprised of Imperatives – a total of 20 – which define the specific requirements that must be achieved by the manufacturer. The program asks manufacturers to engage with every aspect of the product and its manufacturing process, from fair labor practices in supply chains, to material health optimization, access to fresh air for workers, energy consumption and beyond.
