INDUSTRY COLLABORATIONS
Leverage points are places within a complex system where a small shift in one thing can produce big changes in everything. Our collaborations identify and activate leverage points to create systems change.
Science-based, data-driven insights provide a baseline for collaborative goal setting, data sharing accelerates progress for all members, and together we achieve collective impact.
UNITED TO ELIMINATE TOXIC CHEMICALS
ChemFORWARD unites businesses, governments, and NGOs who share a common vision:
A world where all chemicals are vetted before use
so that no more hazardous chemicals enter circulation, and existing hazardous chemicals can be systematically drawn down and replaced with verified safer alternatives, and ultimately sustainable chemistry.
ENABLING SUPPLY CHAIN TRANSFORMATION
By 2030, we will demonstrate the value and impact of chemical hazard data in at least 6 consumer-facing supply chains by applying robust chemical hazard assessments and data analytics to characterize the chemical landscape of common consumer facing products.
Through industry partnerships we communicate baseline data and impact metrics to accelerate the use of chemical hazard data and adoption of safer chemistry while systematically drawing down toxic chemicals in these supply chains.
DATA SHARING MAKES US DIFFERENT
MANY HANDS MAKE LIGHT WORK
By utilizing our shared data platfrom and conducting your assessments with ChemFORWARD, you are contributing to a globally harmonized repository and benefiting from the contribution of other users to the dataset. This unique cost-sharing, benefit-sharing model has several advantages:
With a definitive profile per CAS#, we eliminate duplicative effort, improve consistency, and lower costs for users
Improves access and empowerment of all users (big and small);
Reduces complexity and expense for all participants;
Creates trust with third-party quality assurance;
Develops best practice for data creation, maintenance and dissemination;
Informs policy.
BRAND LEADERSHIP
Brand leadership is a key element of our approach to systems transformation.
By leveraging tested strategies from leading companies and activating supply chains to unlock chemical hazard assessment data in a collaborative, user-centered approach, the vision of using safer chemistry to enable a prosperous future for all people, the planet and commerce is possible.
