Improving Quality of Life
MEMBER STORY
Customers Want Green
At Benjamin Moore, we remain steadfast in our commitment to our stakeholders and our long-standing pledge toward a more
sustainable future. Premium quality coatings have been at the foundation of the brand for 138 years. Through third-party
certifications like Green Seal and ongoing efforts to develop low-VOC coatings, we are able to meet the needs of customers and
our obligation for a safer environment.
In 2008, Benjamin Moore® introduced the Eco Spec® line as one of our first zero-VOC paints ideally suited for facilities, such as
schools, hospitals, corporate buildings, nursing homes, medical clinics and assisted living facilities.
In 2021, as part of an effort to better serve our customers, we had Eco Spec® independently tested to be Green Seal™ Certified
and CERTIFIED asthma & allergy friendly® by the ASTHMA AND ALLERGY FOUNDATION OF AMERICA. This certification
makes Eco Spec® our greenest product offering that exceeds the most stringent environmental standards for both commercial
and residential customers.
The new Eco Spec® Interior is a 100% acrylic paint that offers zero VOCs, zero emissions and low odor, for when an
environmentally responsible interior paint is required or needed; and our patented zero-VOC Gennex® colorants ensure that Eco
Spec® remains zero-VOC, even after tinting. This is why we recommend products like Eco Spec® for the benefit of those spaces,
their occupants and the environment in general.
