A guided path for the industry
But to unleash this potential and have a real impact, clear guidance and qualified support are needed - for every organisation. This will help to navigate through the vast amount of information out there while identifying the most suitable solutions.
To maximise the impact, we scale our efforts with our Implementation Partners who have the know-how - based on years of expertise and ZDHC knowledge - to fast-track chemical management programmes.
Approved Experts are supporting brands and facilities, with years of experience and knowledge of on-site consulting. Become part of the Implementation HUB Find Your Expert network - the upcoming match-making platform for the industry.
Our Approved Solution Partners are linked to the ZDHC data infrastructure via an API and seamlessly connect to the unique ZDHC platforms. Approved InCheck Providers are enabled to generate performance reports with the ZDHC Gateway. These reports are reflecting supplier facility’s chemical inventory conforms to the standards of the ZDHC MRSL.
ZDHC trainings are provided in partnership with vetted and approved ZDHC Accredited Training Providers that are organisations and trainers who have passed a rigorous selection process in terms of experience, expertise and didactics. The ZDHC Academy coordinates the workflow of the Trainers and manages the training participants. The trainers provide training in local languages and on-site, as well as in customised online courses.
Approved Baseline InCheck Verifiers support suppliers in establishing a verified report of their chemical inventory.
The Application phase will open in late 2020.
