MAKE EM SHINE 415 LLC

MAKE EM SHINE is a social enterprise cooperative focused on three key areas: The Planet, The People, and Profits. Our mission is to minimize buildings' impact on climate change and improve indoor air quality (IAQ) while providing green jobs for marginalized individuals.

We protect and enhance floors from shoe-borne pathogens (SBP) using LEED-rated products and procedures. Our floor treatments not only provide a lasting shine but also create a surface that resists scuffs, scratches, and black marks—without stripping.

**LEED Points and Certifications** 

Applying our floor treatment contributes to LEED points for buildings and businesses already participating in the LEED program administered by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). For those not yet certified, GREENFEET can help achieve LEED certification by registering LEED floors. Our finish requires significantly less water, reducing building maintenance water use by 45%. 

Advancements in organic nanotechnology allow us to seal floors, protect them from SBP, and help qualify buildings and businesses for tax incentives and LEED ratings under the new funding guidelines established by the National Building Performance Standards (NBPS) and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). We are the only company offering LEED-certified protection against shoe-borne pathogens.

By providing green jobs to economically and socially disadvantaged residents of San Francisco, we aim to help them gain a foothold in both the local and global green economy. These positions offer a living wage and include incentive-based pay raises for employees who pursue further training and education.

Our business model empowers individuals to transform their lives, with a focus on community success. A green economy is defined as low-carbon, resource-efficient, and socially inclusive. Our processes and products are LEED certified, cost-efficient, and effective in preparing buildings and businesses for LEED certification, thereby adding points to existing LEED-rated structures and schools.

Our approach will be a cornerstone of green buildings across the country, effectively addressing drought conditions in western states by reducing the reliance on excessive water and chemicals for everyday building maintenance. Additionally, introducing luxury vinyl tile (LVT) as a flooring option further strengthens our commitment to sustainability.MAKE EM SHINE is a social enterprise co-op dedicated to reducing the impact of buildings on climate change and improving indoor air quality (IAQ), while providing GREEN jobs for disenfranchised individuals. We protect floors from Shoe-Borne Pathogens (SBP) using LEED-rated products, ensuring a shine that never needs stripping and resists scuffs.

Our treatments contribute to LEED points for certified buildings, and non-registered facilities can achieve certification through GREENFEET. By maintaining our finish, businesses can reduce water usage by 45%. Our unique sealing technology protects floors from SBP and qualifies properties for tax breaks and LEED ratings under new regulations.

We will provide sustainable jobs that enable economically disadvantaged San Francisco residents to thrive in the Green Economy. Our model supports personal growth and community success. Our LEED-certified process is cost-efficient and minimizes water and chemical use, addressing drought issues in the West. Our innovative approach is integral to building a sustainable future across the country.

LVT has a protective wear layer measured in mils (1/1000 of an inch), and is subject to scratches and daily wear. Our process addresses this problem with a finish that protects the floor from wear and scratches, while also protecting the IAQ from shoe-borne pathogens.
