the protocol: our way to chem
The CHEM 4sustainability® protocol for the elimination of toxic and harmful substances is based, in line with ZDHC methodology, on the synthesis between what brands ask companies in the supply chain and the analysis of relative verification methods. A bringing together of demand and ability to respond oriented towards the gradual achieving of shared goals through a single management system, which is to be applied though a dedicated project, regular training and refresher courses and constant monitoring over time.
Brachi Testing Services is the technical partner for chemical risk assessment.
