Why can I not review a ZDHC guidelines document as a Friend of ZDHC?
Friends of ZDHC (Brands and Vendors) are not full Signatories; therefore, they do not get all the benefits a full Signatory receives; this includes reviewing and commenting on ZDHC guidelines and guides.
I am a brand how do I find current documents open for review?
Signatories can access ZDHC documents for review either through the ZDHC Virtual Environment or the ZDHC Intranet. Which portal is dependent on which stakeholder group belong to?

Call to actions are on the window that opens
If you cannot see call to actions this may be because you are a Friend of ZDHC Brand rather than a Signatory Brand.

I have logged into the Brand Hub but cannot see the Signatory Review, why is this?
This may be because you are a Friend of ZDHC Brand rather than a Signatory Brand. Friends are not permitted to review and comment on ZDHC documents, this is a benefit for Signatories only.
If you are a Signatory Brand and still cannot see any reviews, it may be that currently there are no documents available for review at this time. Please keep an eye on our monthly newsletter that informs of new reviews.
How do I comment on a ZDHC document?
Each Signatory review notice has a link to the document and a link to the comments page. Any comments you wish to make on the document should be added to the comments page.
Comments should only be made on the technical content. We do not expect our Signatories to be proof-readers and spot all the typos. Don’t worry we thoroughly review the document for these before making it into our final published PDF document.
Can I leave comments on the PDF?
You may notice that the document is a Google PDF and therefore it’s possible to leave comments on the PDF. However, we ask you do not leave comments on the PDF, but put them into the comments sheet only.
This ensures that we can track and reply to all comments as well as having a record of all comments for each document.
How do I know what action was taken from my comment?
After the review time period is complete the Technical Manager will go through all the comments. A reply to each comment will be added to the comment sheet. Although the comment sheet will no longer be available to add more comments it will remain available as view only.
Once all comments are addressed the Technical Manager will send an email to inform the people that made comments that the sheet is completed and ready for them to view.
