Abstract
Today, many brands, retailers, and manufacturers are facing mounting pressure from a variety of sources regarding chemicals used in the manufacture of their products and supply chains. Consumers and NGO's are demanding a reduction in the number of hazardous chemicals, and the legislative landscape around the use of chemicals is complex and constantly evolving. Companies must address how their products are made and look more deeply into their supply chains. This presentation will discuss the ever changing landscape that consumer brands face and some solutions that may help them navigate towards the use of less hazardous chemicals in their products and supply chains.
