ZDHC Foundation continues to grow
The ZDHC Foundation’s 2025 Impact Report has revealed a 19% growth in registered chemical formulators, 15% growth in suppliers registered on the ZDHC Gateway and supplier platform, and 27% growth in chemical products published on the Gateway during the year.
There are now 166,915 chemical products on the Gateway, up 105% since 2022; and average ZDHC MRSL (manufacturing restricted substances list) conformance climbed to 79% in 2025, up from 72% in 2023.
Scott Echols, chief impact officer, said: “For the first time, we published data showing how using the ZDHC MRSL and associated Roadmap to Zero Programme can reduce the negative impacts on aquatic and human toxicity at individual factories. Also, we began work to both expand on those individual factory studies and broaden our reach into other chemically intensive sectors.”
