Webinar: Chemical Footprint Project Launch

This webinar introduced the project itself and players involved in the new and exciting tool.

The Chemical Footprint Project was founded by the environmental non-profit Clean Production Action, the research institute The Lowell Center for Sustainable Production at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, and the sustainability consultancy Pure Strategies. Its mission is to transform global chemical use by measuring and disclosing data on business progress to safer chemicals.

The CFP will enable purchasers to preferentially select suppliers and investors to integrate chemical risk into their sustainability analyses and investments. The CFP results enable brands to market their progress and success in using safer chemicals.

Webinar Panelists:

Sally Edwards, Lowell Center for Sustainable Production

Tim Greiner, Pure Strategies

Mark Rossi, Clean Production Action
