Sustainable Chemical Management Solutions

Move a step closer towards your sustainable chemical management and zero discharge of hazardous chemicals (ZDHC) goals and build trust in your textile or footwear products with SGS.

Chemical discharge is a major concern for the textile and footwear industries. Inappropriate chemical use is commonplace, often because upstream operators lack the necessary chemical management knowledge. This is a problem for downstream brands and retailers, as consumers and market authorities now demand proof of proper chemical management. However, achieving this can be difficult, especially in long supply chains with complex manufacturing processes.
