Reducing Chemical Hazards: The First Move
It is crucial to make informed decisions when choosing chemicals in products, processes, and supply chains. Though it seems like an obvious step, identifying and knowing the potential hazards of chemicals is often overlooked or perceived as too complicated or costly to address. Yet companies face brand and financial risk if they are not making informed decisions about the chemicals they use. This in-person training on the GreenScreen List Translator provides a first line of defense against regrettable chemical choices and hands-on practice to ensure you can effectively use the tool in your organization.
Watch the recorded free precursor webinar, which introduces the basic principles of chemical hazard assessments, why they are of interest, and basic tools to identify and screen out hazardous chemicals.
Webinar 3/23: GreenScreen and LEED v4: Healthy Building Materials
The Canadian Green Building Council will host Shari Franjevic and Michelle Turner of Clean Production Action for a webinar entitled GreenScreen and LEED v4: Healthy Building Materials.

Welcomes Parnassus Investments as its Newest Signatory
The Chemical Footprint Project is pleased to announce Parnassus Investments, which manages $20 billion in assets, as its newest Signatory.

Featured in Dignity Health’s 2016 Sustainability Report
Dignity Health used its power as a Signatory to request that leading suppliers participate in the first annual Chemical Footprint Project Survey. Its Sustainability Report states “the movement toward safer chemicals is about creating an environment for patients, visitors and staff free from hazards posed by harmful chemicals. As a signatory of the Chemical Footprint Project, we are reaching out to our business partners to participate in a survey that measures their corporate progress toward safer chemicals and overall chemicals management performance. We will use the survey’s findings to determine which suppliers are taking the systematic steps necessary to identify and reduce chemicals of high concern in their products and supply chains and to steer our purchases toward the safest products.”
According to the report, Dignity Health’s participation in initiatives such as the Chemical Footprint Project “underlies their efforts to integrate the concept of Environmentally Preferable Purchasing into their sourcing strategy.”
