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.

Public Disclosure Portal

The ZDHC Roadmap to Zero Programme has developed the Public Disclosure Portal. This portal provides the industry with an overview of the supply chain performance with respect to the conformance to the ZDHC Wastewater Guidelines.

What kind of wastewater test data is disclosed?
  • Anonymised, aggregated, colour coded wastewater testing data per facility pertaining to ZDHC Wastewater Guidelines Table 2A-N (MRSL Parameters):
  • Verified data are wastewater testing data that are directly uploaded by the ZDHC Accepted Laboratories under the ZDHC wastewater and sludge testing programme upon the completion of wastewater testing. The ZDHC Accepted Laboratories have been reviewed by ZDHC technical staff to ensure they have the technical ability in the appropriate testing analytes, as well as reviewing the laboratories quality assurance programme.
  • Unverified data are wastewater data that are provided by third parties. These wastewater testing may be conducted by any laboratories, which ZDHC has not necessarily reviewed their testing capability and their quality assurance programme.
