Knowledge base

There are three different programme levels in Supplier to Zero:

Foundational Level

The Foundational Level is based on the principles of the ZDHC Chemical Management System (CMS) Framework. With the content related to Minimum Requirements, facilities demonstrate their awareness of ZDHC sustainable chemical management and how to implement ZDHC Solutions. For each recommended improvement, facilities get insights into the investments and timelines.

Progressive Level

The Progressive allows facilities to demonstrate continuous improvement. It includes additional content and supports facilities' efforts by offering more profound insights into industry best practices and optimal techniques. From the Progressive level onwards, facilities must provide evidence of successful chemical management implementations and using ZDHC tools for continuous improvement.

Aspirational Level

The Aspirational Level equips facilities to position themselves as a leader in tackling the use of hazardous chemicals. Earning this status allows you to demonstrate performance in sustainable chemical management. At the Aspirational Level, you can further reduce risk and help to drive transparency across the value chain.
