The rising demand for sustainable and responsible production is driving manufacturers across industries to re-evaluate their approach to chemical management. Whether in leather, textiles, footwear, or other materials, companies are increasingly required to ensure that the chemicals used in their processes comply with global safety and environmental standards.
Conducting a chemical management audit is essential for understanding how both your business and supply chain handle the regulatory and operational aspects of chemical use in manufacturing. Effective chemical management is a foundation of sustainable business practices. As brands and retailers place greater emphasis on the chemicals used in upstream materials, the responsible handling of these substances is critical—not only to protect human health but also to minimize environmental impact.
The Chem-MAP® Chemical Management Audit evaluates the effectiveness of chemical management across the global supply chain. Key elements of the audit include:
Upon successful completion, you will be certified as an ‘Approved Chem-MAP® Manufacturer’, a certification valid for two years. This rigorous process equips suppliers to eliminate hazardous chemicals from their production, minimize environmental impact, and ensure full compliance with industry standards. By identifying and addressing gaps in chemical management, the audit not only strengthens sustainability efforts but also enhances supply chain transparency. As a result, suppliers are better positioned to form stronger partnerships with ZDHC-compliant brands, aligning with the growing demand for responsible and sustainable manufacturing practices.
