Study on how companies are using the SIN List and work with Restricted Substance Lists
The study Protecting Consumers and the Environment: A Comparison of Approaches to Developing Restricted Substance Lists by Makers of ‘Stuff We All Use’ highlights three progressive companies, Sony Ericsson, Sara Lee and Skanska, all participants in the ChemSec Business Group.
The purpose of the study is to analyze and better understand the processes by which restricted substance lists are developed within progressive companies in different business sectors, and to learn how an externally created list such as the SIN List can aid downstream users in restricting hazardous chemicals in their products and supply chains. The study builds on in-depth interviews with senior sustainability management representatives from three international downstream user companies.
