When will Supplier to Zero v2 be operational?

Will it be valid immediately, or will there be a transition period for suppliers and solution provider auditors?

Thanks for your question. The plan is to publish Supplier to Zero (StZ) Version 2 requirements in early 2026, before the launch 6 months later. During this 6-month period, Version 1 will remain available. The 6-month period will provide suppliers the time to understand the requirements, go through the relevant training, and prepare for the version 2 assessment. The official launch of StZ Version 2 will be in mid-2026, at which point Version 1 will be retired and replaced by Version 2.

When will the programme.roadmaptozero.com/formulator platform be activated?

What will be included in the platform? And should we expect it to be activated together with Chemicals to Zero Progressive?
