STRATEGY
Strategic alignment and interaction between industry programs and those of governments and intergovernmental organisations are key to the success of chemicals management programs.
Many regulators and industry bodies have underscored the need to improve assessment programs for metals as well as to ensure the availability of reliable data.
Industry has a comprehensive program of work underway on hazard and risk assessment and is working closely with governments and intergovernmental organisations to ensure sound, science-based outcomes.
