In today‘s global markets, suppliers and manufacturers across the globe are offering a wider and continuously growing selection of raw materials and goods. Over the last several years, supply chains have correspondingly become more complex and more difficult to track.
With an increasing consciousness for environmental concerns, health, security and sustainability in global supply chains, more organizations and consumers are demanding increased transparency about where and how products are manufactured and what ingredients they contain.
In April 2017, UL joined the Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC) Program as an official participant and supports brands, retailers and their global suppliers through wastewater tests in provisionally ZDHC-accepted laboratories. UL provides further support through testing, audits, management services and trainings used in the planning and implementation of sustainable processes by companies.
