The ZDHC Foundation oversees implementation of the Roadmap to Zero Programme and is a global multi-stakeholder initiative of more than 160 contributors within the fashion and footwear industry.
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.
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.
The ZDHC Gateway, with its Chemical and Wastewater Modules, brings an unprecedented level of transparency to the industry. It is the world's first database of safer chemistry, and a global platform for better chemical management.
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.

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.
