Join over 50 companies that have measured their chemicals management and hazard reduction programs against best practice. The CFP 2021 Survey is open for participation, and the deadline for has been extended to October 31. Manufacturers, brands and retailers can register to participate at https://www.chemicalfootprint.org/assess/steps-to-cfp.
Companies are under increasing pressure to reduce the hazard of the products they manufacture or sell. The CFP Survey enables them to map their chemicals management programs – with a goal of hazard reduction - to best practice identified over 15 years by work with leading businesses across sectors and NGOs. As part of best practice, the Survey includes methodology for calculating the chemical footprint of a company’s product portfolio. Through the exercise of responding to the Survey, companies are able to identify gaps and map next steps for improvement.
