Safer Chemistry Impact Fund

This ChemFORWARD report is the first in a series of publications that the Safer Chemistry Impact Fund will sponsor to provide industry sectors with the science and data they need to continuously improve products to be healthier for people and the planet. In this report, the beauty sector has provided a leadership template for research, data sharing, and collaboration that could be applied across industries.

This is a must read for the safer chemistry community calling for investors to conduct risk analysis on novel entities (synthetic chemicals). This pairs perfectly with the Safer Chemistry Impact Fund's recently released report: Accelerating the Transition to Safer Chemistry: Establishing a collective vision and impact metrics (https://bit.ly/4eHWl3C). Thanks Planet Tracker for this compelling report. Awareness + Metrics = We Got This!

The Safer Chemistry Impact Fund is seeking proposals from non-profit organizations to implement metrics established in its recent report, Accelerating The Transition To Safer Chemistry. This project will assess the current landscape of chemical usage within a specific consumer-facing supply chain. The deadline for submissions is October 30, 2024.

"The report synthesizes ideas offered by government, nonprofit and industry experts into a roadmap for global supply chains as it navigates the complex transition away from chemicals linked to severe health issues including reproductive problems, endocrine disruption and cancer. By providing a standardized approach to assessing and quantifying progress towards safer chemistry, the SCI Fund aims to enable companies with trusted data, simple tools, and metrics to reduce risk and accelerate investment in verified, safer alternatives."
