The ZDHC Supplier to Zero initiative supports textile, apparel, leather, and footwear suppliers in building and strengthening their Chemical Management Systems (CMS) in alignment with the ZDHC Chemical Management System Technical Industry Guide (CMS TIG).

What is ZDHC Supplier to Zero?

Supplier to Zero is a ZDHC programme that enables suppliers to assess, improve, and demonstrate their chemical management performance through a structured framework.

Level 1 : Self-Assessment to ensure compliance with ZDHC Guidelines

Level 2: Desktop Review of Chemical Management System

Level 3 : On-site review to evaluate the facility chemical management  practices

Achieving Level 2 status demonstrates that a facility has:

- Implemented structured chemical management procedures
- Provided documented evidence aligned with CMS TIG requirements
- Demonstrated measurable progress toward best industry practices
