On 26 April 2007 Chemsec organised a meeting on Chemicals in Consumer goods, regulation, policies and practise. Together with a group of progressive multinationals producing consumer goods, Chemsec discussed current issues around the implementation of REACH and its implications for producers of consumer goods, and ways forward, to go beyond minimum compliance of the regulation.

Chemsec continues its work with progressive business. 2007 is the year when REACH enters into force, and companies lagging behind in their chemical management systems will have to shape up in order to comply with the stricter new EU rules.

For companies who want to be at the forefront, minimum compliance is not the aim. Rather, new brave means and ways are sought to go beyond what regulators require and adapt even stricter criteria to ensure the safety of the products they provide and the sustainability of the processes they utilize in their production.

As a part of this process, Chemsec organised a meeting on 26 April 2007 on Chemicals in Consumer goods, regulation, policies and practise. Together with a group of progressive multinationals producing consumer goods, Chemsec discussed current issues around the implementation of REACH and its implications for producers of consumer goods, and ways forward, to go beyond minimum compliance of the regulation.
