Roadmap to Zero

Roadmap to Zero is a holistic Programme that supports the entire supply chain. It is the foundation of all our work and creates the ZDHC guidelines, platforms and solutions.

Input

Managing chemical inputs is key to safer products, cleaner water and fresher air. The Input Focus Area is the cornerstone of the work we do.

Process

Good procedures and best practices are vital to reduce the environmental impact of production. This Focus Area helps organisations to put these elements in place.

Output

Outputs prove the effectiveness of safer inputs and processes. It does so by measuring indicators like wastewater, sludge and air quality.

Implementation HUB

As ZDHC implementation partner, the Implementation HUB supports organisations all over the world, by offering the solutions, training and experts they need to put good chemical management in motion.

Introduction

What's in a Performance
InCheck report?

ZDHC Performance InCheck is an easy-to-read chemical inventory report. It provides an overall score of ZDHC MRSL conformance for all products in the inventory and shows where improvements can be made. Comprehensive overviews, understandable results and helpful guidance support facilities to increase their use of more sustainable chemistry. This helps people's well-being and the environment across the entire chemical inventory.

MODULES

How it is structured

The Gateway comprises two modules: the Chemical Module and Wastewater Module.
The Gateway CheckTools support the uptake and verification of our chemical and wastewater reports. 

Chemical Module

Chemical Module is the world’s first verified database of safer chemistry for the apparel and footwear industry. It helps facilities to evaluate the ZDHC MRSL conformance level of chemical formulations used in production processes and find safer alternatives.

Wastewater Module

Wastewater Module is a global online platform for facilities to register and share their wastewater test data. The platform helps facilities to benchmark their conformance towards ZDHC's Wastewater Guidelines and share data with their customers.

Reports

ZDHC Performance InCheck is an easy-to-read performance report that demonstrates the ZDHC MRSL conformance of a facility’s chemical inventory. It can be shared with all customers and is accepted by leading brands.

ZDHC ChemCheck is a product passport of chemical formulations that verifies ZDHC MRSL conformance. Chemical formulators should share this report with their customers.

ZDHC ClearStream is an easy-to-read facility performance report of ZDHC wastewater conformance that is accepted by leading brands. It can be shared with all customers to avoid duplicative testing.

Implementation partner

Implementation HUB drives the global implementation of ZDHC’s Roadmap to Zero Programme. ZDHC Approved Solution Providers support facilities in generating their monthly Performance InCheck report. A list of Approved Solution Providers is available on this website.

The benefits

How Performance InCheck makes a difference
for your organisation
Suppliers

InCheck helps suppliers to assess and improve their chemical inventory. Comprehensive overviews of their chemical inventory are provided, alongside its overall conformance to the ZDHC MRSL. It's all provided in one concise, easy-to-read report. Suppliers can actively track and improve their performance. They can distinguish their organisation from others and build customer loyalty by showing brands their proactive efforts. An InCheck report is also the first step to becoming a 'Supplier to Zero', where it possible to join a select group of future-focussed industry leaders.


Brands

Performance InCheck helps brands to evaluate supplier performance in implementing ZDHC's Roadmap to Zero Programme. The easy-to-read report reflects the performance of a facility's chemical inventory towards the ZDHC MRSL. By accepting Performance InCheck reports as a globally harmonised performance tool, brands reduce supply chain complexity, duplicative efforts and increase transparency on the usage of sustainable chemistry.

Report

The added value

When a supplier uploads their chemical inventory to the ZDHC Gateway, it is cross referenced regarding its ZDHC MRSL conformance of all chemical formulations listed in the inventory. The report shows what percentage of products in the inventory comply to the ZDHC MRSL, and at what level.

A supplier can now benchmark performance of chemical formulations towards the ZDHC MRSL and identify potential improvements. This empowers them to take full ownership of their Roadmap to Zero implementation efforts and drive the usage of safer chemistry. Performance InCheck reports can be shared with customers and build the foundation for continuous improvement.

transparency

Future advantage

Performance InCheck builds a clear picture of what lies in a chemical inventory. Each facility is a piece of the puzzle to measure ZDHC's Roadmap to Zero Programme impact on a global level. Monitoring status quo and advancement in the use of sustainable chemistry helps our team to improve services and solutions to support the industry to deepen ZDHC's Programme impact and provide transparency on our achievements.
