ZDHC has moved to a digitised Suppliers Roadmap to Zero (Suppliers RtZ) content where a cohesive user journey is defined for a supplier with Input, Process and Output Focus Area requirements. The content is structured into Chapters, Requirements and Explainers on how to implement, along with downloadable templates, where relevant. The earlier ZDHC Guidelines (except for the Fibres Guidelines) are now archived. New content has also been added to the framework. The requirements under the Suppliers Roadmap to Zero will be evaluated in the Supplier to Zero V2.

Due to this change in approach for implementation of the ZDHC Roadmap to Zero Programme, it is imperative that the training courses on the ZDHC Academy are also aligned with the Suppliers Roadmap to Zero content so that Suppliers can:

1. Develop full understanding of the Suppliers Roadmap to Zero and build competencies for Supplier to Zero V2 evaluation

2. Prepare to meet performance criteria on training and chemical management team competencies under the Supplier to Zero V2 evaluation

Also, since the earlier guidelines- such as ZDHC CMS TIG - are now archived, it is important for the Academy to update the guidelines based trainings accordingly.
