The Chemicals Management Module is a roadmap for companies to benchmark, establish, build, maintain and improve  chemicals management processes, and integrate them with other business processes as part of an overall corporate management system.1 It provides an overall strategic guide for any company to follow in order to better manage chemicals used to create products – with the goal for all processes and products to ultimately use inherently safer chemicals and reduce or eliminate hazardous chemicals – in order to preserve human health and a clean environment.

The Framework identifies critical business processes and procedures – in the form of “indicators” – that help supply chain partners to benchmark, establish, build, maintain and improve interconnected chemicals management systems in service of shared objectives.
