Sustainable Products & Solutions Program

An interdisciplinary program linking Business, Chemistry, and Beyond

In collaboration with the UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business and College of Chemistry, the Sustainable Products & Solutions (SPS) Program was created to foster productive application of the University's excellent learning, research, and technology development expertise.

The vision of the Sustainable Products & Solutions Program is to create a multi-disciplinary learning and research environment where the foundations of sustainability - society, science, engineering, environment, and finance - are all considered simultaneously as new products and solutions are explored. The Program's working definitions of sustainable products & solutions involve a business model that is financially sustainable after valuing its social, health, and environmental costs and benefits. This valuation is grounded in scientific evidence and involves the entire supply chain and life-cycle of the product or solution.

The Sustainable Products & Solutions Program was established in October 2007 with a five-year, $10 million commitment from The Dow Chemical Company Foundation. Ultimately the program will involve future collaborations with several UC Berkeley schools and corporations.
