The pace of change in retail is unrelenting, but can’t come at a cost to safety, sustainability or security. Get to know evolving compliance risks, from substances of concern to cyberattacks, that threaten market access and damage the trust of stakeholders and consumers.
Our team works across the global retail ecosystem to help mitigate challenges throughout the product development process via ongoing regulation monitoring, expert guidance and a comprehensive portfolio of testing services for consumer products to confirm compliance.
Consider compliance from the beginning of the product development process and choose materials that comply with relevant regulations in desired markets and retailer restricted substances lists (RSLs).
Collect and share relevant technical and sustainability data and insights with supply chain partners to fulfill regulatory requirements, protect employees and enhance product quality.
The regulatory environment in many markets is changing rapidly — retailers have their own tailored lists of requirements for products and suppliers. Avoid conformity blind spots that can impact market access.
Demonstrate that the products you produce or sell meet chemical regulations that are designed to reduce negative impacts on human health or the environment.
Access a broad range of chemical testing and advisory services for your product assortment and develop proactive chemical management policies.
Access chemical regulatory data on more than 600,000 substances to navigate compliance needs and gain market access, all in one single, structured source.
Drive more efficient, end-to-end product stewardship through management and automation of environmental, health and safety (EHS) requirements.
Evaluate products, components and ingredients based on your organization’s approach to sustainability and curate or develop the safer and more sustainable products that consumers demand.
