Supplier to Zero Version 2 marks an important step forward, shifting the focus from assessing management systems to recognising and rewarding measurable performance. The updated Supplier Platform supports this journey with an improved user experience, the new Supplier Profile, access to the Air Emissions Module, and the tools and resources suppliers need to complete their Supplier to Zero Version 2 assessment. 👉 What should suppliers do next? • Log in to the Supplier Platform using your ZDHC Gateway credentials • Review the Supplier to Zero V2 Manual and updated Knowledge Base guidance • Create your new Supplier Profile and start your assessment • Join our upcoming Supplier to Zero V2 webinar on 13 August at 10:00 CET Thank you to everyone who contributed to reaching this milestone. Now the focus turns to accelerating adoption and delivering meaningful impact at scale.

The newly launched ZDHC Impact Report 2025 captures progress across the Roadmap to Zero Programme and our collective work toward more sustainable chemical management. The report explores our shift from participation to implementation and measurable environmental and social outcomes. It includes new factory-level evidence on the potential benefits of ZDHC MRSL implementation. It also reflects the value of industry collaboration, including our strategic work with Cascale to support greater alignment in environmental performance.

The ZDHC Gateway will be temporarily unavailable starting today (7 Aug), while we complete the data migration to the relaunched platform. 

Signatories can access the two PDF documents through their Signatory Environments calls to action. Documents to be reviewed. 1. Draft ZDHC MRSL V4.0 2. List of PFAS Signatories should comment via the comments sheet found in the call to action. Deadline 27 July 2026.

Join us for a series of ZDHC webinars introducing the relaunch of the ZDHC Gateway. These sessions will guide you through the journey behind the relaunch, the value the renewed platform will bring to the ZDHC community, and a high-level overview of what users can expect when the platform goes live. We will highlight key improvements and share insights into how the platform is evolving to become more intuitive, connected, and valuable for ZDHC Signatories and the wider community. Each session is specific for different sectors. (Note: where there are two sessions for a sector both sessions will have the same content, you only need to attend one)

ZDHC Circularity Summit - 4-5 November 2026 Lisbon, Portugal This year's theme, "Decoding the Chemistry Behind Scalable Circularity," highlights a key challenge: circular systems can only work when materials are safe to reuse, recycle, and return into production. Building on ZDHC’s expertise in sustainable chemical management, the summit will explore how chemistry can support credible recycling, better material recovery, safer feedstock, and stronger collaboration across the circular value chain. Join us by submitting a proposal or registering for the event!

The draft of the ZDHC Chemicals to Zero Progressive (CtZ -P) and Aspirational Safety Profile (CtZ-A Safety Profile) is now ready for Signatory review. CtZ-P and CtZ-A Safety Profile build upon the Chemicals to Zero Foundational (CtZ-F) level, comprising ZDHC MRSL conformance levels as per the current MRSL Conformance Guidance document. The deadline for review is 5 August 2026 To review and leave comments, log into your relevant Signatories Environment, where you will find the comments sheet along with the PDFs.
