Setting Strategy, Goals & Requirements
Once a brand has established its sustainable chemical management policy, the next step is to translate this commitment into concrete action. This chapter provides guidance on how to formulate a sustainable chemical management strategy, set meaningful and measurable goals, and define clear requirements for suppliers.
A strategy outlines how the brand intends to fulfil its commitments under the ZDHC Roadmap to Zero Programme, while goals and requirements ensure that progress can be tracked and that expectations are clearly understood across the supply chain. Together, these elements create a structured framework that supports effective implementation, enables alignment with the ZDHC Roadmap to Zero Programme, and drives continuous improvement.
