ZDHC Roadmap to Zero Programme

Have you had a chance to go through the new chemical management trainings on the ZDHC Academy yet?  The chemical management courses are tailored to specific supplier processes, to ensure that all the topics are directly relevant for building capacity and knowledge. Suppliers will receive a thorough understanding of all the chapters and focus areas in the Suppliers Roadmap to Zero, and be empowered to set sustainable chemical management systems at their facility. 📚 Explore the courses on the ZDHC Academy with the links in the comments and reach out to our Approved Training Providers to participate in these training sessions! #RoadmaptoZeroProgramme #IntrotoZDHC #ZDHCAcademy

What does it take to turn sustainability expectations into practical progress for the textile value chain? At Bharat Tex 2026, our colleagues Prasad Pant and Saket Kulkarni delivered a ZDHC masterclass on why sustainable chemical management is becoming a strategic enabler for India’s textile industry and its access to global markets. The discussion explored how globally recognised frameworks can help manufacturers respond to evolving regulatory and brand requirements, particularly in the India-EU trade landscape. It also reinforced a bigger point: real progress comes from collaboration between industry, policymakers and brands to build a more transparent, resilient and future-ready value chain. ZDHC remains committed to working with stakeholders across the region to accelerate the adoption of safer chemistry and support meaningful sustainability transformation. #BharatTex2026 #SustainableChemistry #ZDHCRoadmaptoZeroProgramme

This November, I'll be joining the Innovation Forum's Sustainable Commodities and Landscapes Forum in Amsterdam, where I'll be moderating a session on Financial and Non-Financial Incentives to Support the Adoption of Technology, Innovation, and Farmer Practice Change. The forum unites 200+ professionals across agriculture, apparel, packaging, metals, and energy to openly discuss climate resilience, supply security, and value-chain competitiveness. Sessions run under the Chatham House rules, so conversations can go off-script, get more real and go further than those at a typical conference panel. If you're part of the ZDHC Roadmap to Zero Programme network, use code ZDHC10 for 10% off your pass.

As the role of solution providers continues to grow across the ZDHC Roadmap to Zero Programme, having the right tools, guidance and processes in one place matters more than ever. On 29 July, our monthly Forum Call will focus on ‘From Challenge to Solution - From a Solution Provider’s point of view’. The conversation will look at the evolving role of solution providers in supporting implementation across the industry, as well as the new Solution Provider Toolkit, a practical resource designed to bring together key guidance, tools and requirements in one place. Join us to hear directly from solution providers about what this means in practice, and the challenges and opportunities they see on the ground. 👉 Register with the link in the comments! #ZDHCRoadmaptoZeroProgramme #ZDHCForumCall #SustainableChemistry

Better chemistry is becoming measurable. The ZDHC Impact Report 2025 is here, and it shows how the Roadmap to Zero Programme is moving from participation to implementation, and from implementation to real-world impact. This year’s report takes a natural capital lens to the work ahead, connecting chemical management to resilience, transparency, water stewardship, biodiversity, and human health. Some key highlights from the report: 🔹 ZDHC’s community grew in 2025 to 397 organisations. 🔹 It also shows 18.9% growth in registered chemical formulators, 15.2% growth in suppliers registered on the ZDHC Gateway and Supplier Platform, and 27% growth in chemical products published on the ZDHC Gateway. 🔹 More than 75%  of wastewater reports achieved Progressive or Aspirational performance. 🔹 The report also shows how safer chemistry can reduce negative impacts on aquatic and human toxicity. 🔹 The Roadmap to Zero Programme is increasingly being applied beyond fashion. None of this happens in isolation. Progress like this comes from brands, suppliers, formulators, and solution providers working from the same playbook, holding each other accountable, and pushing forward together. At ZDHC, the message is clear: sustainable chemical management is not just about compliance, it is about building stronger systems, better data, and a more resilient future for the entire value chain. 👉 Read and download the full ZDHC Impact Report 2025 here: https://lnkd.in/eCjdFHES #ZDHCImpactReport2025 #SustainableChemistry #ZDHCCommunity
