Disclaimer PLEASE NOTE: The following presentation is being provided as an introduction to the general use of chemicals in textile manufacturing. The presentation is not intended to define applicable requirements or prescribe means or methods in accordance with those requirements, but instead to inform training participants of the potential hazards and use of chemicals in today’s textile manufacturing industry. The intent of the presentation is to provide awareness to these hazards, with a focus on textile manufacturing process improvement and chemical-use reduction in the future. Country-specific regulatory requirements are not addressed in detail in this training session and each supplier is expected to become informed of these requirements for their specific operation and incorporate manufacturing practices to maintain regulatory compliance within their chemical management programs.

Who We Are
COMMITMENT
Towards the goal of Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals by year 2020
TOWARDS
Published the first Joint Roadmap, 15 November 2011 and issued update (Version 2) 11 June 2013.

Building a Global Centre of Excellence in Responsible Chemical Management

Why ZDHC • Chemicals are used in apparel and footwear production
• Some chemicals are hazardous and can be harmful for the environment, for reproduction and for aquatic organisms
• This is why we have been working hard to regulate chemical thresholds, which in many cases are more stringent than required by legal regulations or industry standards
• However, residuals and contaminations can still exist
x
• That is why we have jointly made a commitment to lead our industry towards zero discharge of hazardous chemicals (ZDHC) by 2020
• Ultimately, chemical management across our supply chain must be improved and integrated through measures like the MRSL

Definition of Hazardous Chemicals
Hazardous chemicals are those that show intrinsically hazardous properties: • Persistent, bioacculmulative and toxic
(PBT) • Very persistent and very
bioacculmulative (vPvB) • Carcinogenic, mutagenic and toxic for
reproduction (CMR) • Endocrine discruptors (ED); or those
of equivalent concern, not just those that have been regulated or restricted in other regions

ZDHC Expectations of Suppliers
• Be aware of the ZDHC initiative, its context and implications
• Comply with the ZDHC MRSL
• Establish your chemical management system
• Continue to be stringent on the chemicals used in production
• Review the published materials on the ZDHC website, ww.roadmaptozero.com
• Communicate with your own supply chain

Chemical Management Team
• The responsibility for managing chemicals should not be the sole responsibility of one person but rather a team. • ZDHC strongly recommends involving the following team:
• EHS Manager to oversee the entire chemical management system • Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) Manager/Technician to provide insight
and understanding of the impacts on effluent from chemical inputs • Product Quality Manager to ensure performance quality of the
purchased chemicals while ensuring compliance with the ZDHC MRSL • Operations/Production Manager to ensure the proper application of
chemicals (for example, nature, quantity) for the production of products • Purchasing/Procurement Manager/Officer to ensure alignment of
purchasing chemicals in compliance with the ZDHC MRSL
The above team members should work together and communicate regularly amongst themselves and factory management.

Risk Assessment Before purchasing any chemicals, a risk assessment should be conducted to:
• Clearly identify risks of each chemical that is being considered for purchase and use
• Understand the hazards and storage requirements associated with the given chemical(s)
• Confirm the adequacy of existing environmental controls
• Ensure alignment with brands’ RSL/MRSL • Identify any environmental concerns associated with each chemical • Employees’ safety – is new PPE required? • Determine chemical disposal needs and arrangements
Building a Global Centre of Excellence in Responsible Chemical Management
31
Purchasing Chemicals
• When purchasing new chemicals, it is imperative to:
• Select the least hazardous chemical suitable for use
• Strictly control the chemical’s use from pre-‐treatment to post-‐treatment
• Obtain the most updated SDS for each chemical
• Obtain an assessment and approval from environment, health and safety (EHS) personnel
• Ask for a RSL/MRSL Confirmation or Guarantee Letter
• Get approval from the customs office and other relevant government authorities, if needed
• Check that labels for all chemical containers (packages) meet the legal requirements
• Maintain hazardous chemical purchase and transportation documentation in accordance with regulatory requirements, including items such as the license for hazardous chemicals and personnel qualifications
Building a Global Centre of Excellence in Responsible Chemical Management
32
Purchasing Chemicals
Documenta7on needed onsite: • Globally Harmonized System of Classifica7on and Labelling of
Chemicals (GHS)/CLP • Safety Data Sheet (SDS) • Label/signage • Supplier declara7ons • Transporta7on
Building a Global Centre of Excellence in Responsible Chemical Management
33
Chemical Inventory • All work areas must maintain an inventory of chemicals at all times according
to the following guidelines:
• When new chemicals are acquired, they must promptly be added to the inventory.
• When chemicals are expended or disposed, they must be removed from the inventory or a single line shall be drawn through them.
• This inventory must be examined and updated periodically (at least annually).
• The inventory must be readily available to anyone entering the work area.
