Health Product Declaration Collaborative Announces 2025 Board and Technical Committee Leadership
Leader in Material Health Refreshes Member Leadership with Industry Expertise
The annual member leadership refresh brings together experienced professionals from across the entire building industry landscape, maintaining the continuity that has made the HPD Open Standard the industry's trusted format for material disclosure. The HPDC now represents over 300 member companies who rely on its proven framework for transparent disclosure of building product content and associated human and environmental health information.
HPDC Board Welcomes New Members HPDC’s Board of Directors works with the executive director and staff to develop the strategy for HPDC and has responsibility to ensure the oversight and governance of HPDC reflect the interests of the organization’s members. Bringing together voices from across the building industry , the 15-member Board, includes three new members for 2025:
• Gregory Arcangeli from the City of Austin
• Don Haynes of Florim USA
• Eileen Gohr from HDR Inc.
"The HPD Open Standard provides the reliable data needed to make informed choices that support both human and environmental health," said Gregory Arcangeli, the new board member from City of Austin. "I'm excited to contribute to HPDC's mission and help drive industry-wide progress toward healthier, more sustainable buildings."
"I am excited to use my extensive manufacturing experience to support the HPDC mission," said Don Haynes, the new board member from Florim USA. "By understanding the unique needs and challenges of the manufacturing sector in achieving material transparency, I look forward to being a part of transforming transparency from an obstacle into a valuable tool—empowering manufacturers to drive innovation, sustainability, and trust in their products."
Steady Progress Through Market Adoption
The HPD Open Standard has become integrated into standard practice at major architecture firms and manufacturing companies. Organizations use HPDs as part of their established processes for:
• Product selection and specification
• Quality assurance documentation
• Supply chain management
• Continuous improvement programs
Technical Committee Tackles Real-World Implementation
The 15-member Technical Committee has the responsibility to develop and maintain the HPD Open Standard as an industry-harmonized specification that provides an industry-wide foundation for material health practice. Advancements in 2025-26 will focus on practical challenges that project teams and manufacturers face in reporting and using material health information, such as:
• Simplifying reporting for small and medium manufacturers
• Addressing supply chain complexity in global markets
• Harmonizing with other transparency standards to reduce duplication
• Developing cost-effective verification pathways
• Automating material health evaluation

Bankowość

Rośnie liczba i wartość udzielonych konsumentom kredytów gotówkowych. Gorzej mają się kredyty ratalne oraz te udzielane firmom
Rynek kredytowy w Polsce co do zasady rośnie, choć nierównomiernie. Z danych Biura Informacji Kredytowej wynika, że najlepiej rozwija się segment kredytów gotówkowych dla konsumentów. Wartościowo wzrosła też kwota udzielonych limitów w kartach kredytowych. Według prognoz BIK w całym roku wzrośnie wartość zarówno udzielonych kredytów mieszkaniowych, jak i gotówkowych, choć tych pierwszych poniżej inflacji. Wcześniejsze cięcia stóp procentowych przez RPP nie zmieniły tej prognozy.
Transport
37,5 proc. środków z Planu Społeczno-Klimatycznego trafi na walkę z ubóstwem transportowym. Organizacje branżowe apelują o zmianę priorytetowych projektów [DEPESZA]

Ministerstwo Funduszy i Polityki Regionalnej z końcem czerwca zakończyło konsultacje Planu Społeczno-Klimatycznego, który otwiera drogę do pozyskania 65 mld zł (11,4 mld euro) z unijnego Społecznego Funduszu Klimatycznego. Polska będzie jego największym beneficjentem, a 37,5 proc. budżetu zostanie przeznaczone na bezpośrednie wsparcie osób narażonych na ubóstwo transportowe. Organizacje branżowe oceniają jednak, że walka z tym zjawiskiem może się okazać nieskuteczna. W toku konsultacji zgłosiły swoje zastrzeżenia co do priorytetów w wydatkach i sposobu wsparcia inwestycji w transport rowerowy.
Prawo
Firmy będą mogły przetestować krótszy tydzień pracy z rządowym wsparciem. Nabór wniosków ruszy w sierpniu

Ministerstwo Rodziny, Pracy i Polityki Społecznej uruchamia pilotaż krótszego tygodnia pracy. Zainteresowane wzięciem w nim udziału firmy będą się mogły ubiegać o wsparcie finansowe ze strony rządu. Politycy Nowej Lewicy, którzy są pomysłodawcami testu tego rozwiązania, przekonują, że finalnie zyskają na nim wszyscy, zarówno pracownicy, jak i pracodawcy, a ostrzeżenia o spodziewanych problemach gospodarki są mocno przesadzone.
