We are delighted that True Value has been honored with our inaugural “ESG and Community Award” at a celebratory dinner in Washington DC.
Since 2018, True Value has been a dedicated advocate of the asthma & allergy friendly® Certification Program. Through this partnership, True Value ensures that its products undergo rigorous scientific testing to meet strict standards, empowering consumers to make informed decisions for healthier indoor air quality and ensuring they’re a healthier choice for community and family.
“I am tremendously proud of the True Value teams who create these award-winning paints and help us bring healthier paint options to families in every community,” said John Vanderpool, Senior Vice President of True Value Manufacturing. “It was an honor to accept this recognition on behalf of our organization and the True Value retailer. Allergy Standards and AAFA do incredible work to ensure safer products, which makes it so special for our paint to receive this award.”
In a market filled with products claiming to be ‘allergy-friendly’ or ‘hypoallergenic’, True Value stands out by offering paints that are CERTIFIED asthma & allergy friendly®. This gives consumers confidence in choosing products that genuinely support healthier indoor air in their homes.

True Value’s dedication extends beyond product offerings. The company is deeply committed to giving back to underserved communities, demonstrated through initiatives like donating CERTIFIED asthma & allergy friendly®paint to schools and projects where it is most needed.
In partnership with True Value retailers, the True Value Foundation operates the “Painting a Brighter Future” program, which provides paint grants to deserving schools, Boys & Girls Clubs, and other youth-focused nonprofits. This program has made a significant impact, covering millions of square feet of learning space and creating brighter environments for children across the nation. With over 68,000 gallons of paint donated since 2009, True Value is truly making a difference in communities across the country.
“We award True Value with our inaugural “ESG and Community Award”. This award is to celebrate True Value’s commitment, over the last 6 years, along with over 2000 retailers, to making available a product that gives Americans a healthier option, when choosing a paint to renovate their home, school, office and community spaces. It also recognises True Value’s dedication to supporting local communities by donating CERTIFIED asthma & allergy friendly® paint in underserved community schools and projects, where it is most needed.”
Through the asthma & allergy friendly® Certification Program, every True Value retailer is equipped with the knowledge and expertise to assist consumers in creating asthma & allergy friendly® homes. With a range of CERTIFIED products available, including 3M furnace filters and Endust, True Value ensures that consumers have access to the tools they need to make healthier choices for their indoor environments.
True Value is a trusted partner in making informed choices for healthier indoor environments for families and communities across America and its receipt of the “ESG and Community Award” is a celebration of the company’s commitment to health, quality, and community welfare.
