COMMITMENT: To the goal of Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals by year 2020
JOINT ROAD MAP: Drafted the Joint Road map, published on 15th Nov 2011
WHY:
- Chemicals are used in apparel and footwear production.
- Some chemicals are hazardous and can be harmful for the environment, for reproduction and for aquatic organisms.
- This is why we have been working hard since years in regulating chemical thresholds, which in many cases is more stringent than required by legal regulations or industry standards.
- However, residuals and contamination can still exist.
- That is why we have jointly made a commitment to lead our industry towards zero discharge of hazardous chemicals (ZDHC) by 2020.
- Ultimately, chemical management across our supply chain must be improved and integrated.

- Achieve the goal by 2020
