ZDHC launches Roadmap to Zero digital platform
The initial phase of ZDHC's digital transformation features the introduction of a digital platform for suppliers, with subsequent rollouts planned for brand-specific modules, as well as those designed for formulators and solution providers. This move marks a shift away from PDF documents, centralising all supplier requirements for the ZDHC RtZ Programme on a single online platform. Suppliers in the apparel, textile, leather, and footwear industries will now have access to a comprehensive guide that allows them to navigate and implement ZDHC's sustainable chemical management requirements at their own pace. The platform is designed to streamline the integration of various guidelines and simplify performance evaluations in line with the Supplier to Zero framework. However, the fibre industry sectors such as man-made cellulosic fibres (MMCF), recycled polyester, and dissolved pulp are not currently included in the Suppliers Roadmap to Zero. These sectors are expected to receive guidance in future developments. For brands, the consolidation of supplier requirements into one digital platform simplifies the process of managing and onboarding suppliers. 'This makes it easier to guide and onboard suppliers through a clear, structured journey,' ZDHC said. The organisation plans to launch the Brands Roadmap to Zero in 2026, which it says will offer brands a comprehensive view of their own progress in sustainable chemical management. In addition, the upcoming Brand and Formulator Roadmap to Zero initiatives will continue to unify guidelines into singular platforms, benefiting all stakeholders by enhancing transparency and collaboration within the industry. The ZDHC's RtZ Programme already has over 350 signatories, including brands, suppliers, formulators, and solution providers. 'Carrying out sustainable chemical management can be complex and navigating many PDF guidelines can be challenging for users. We've listened to your feedback and we're now transitioning to a simplified and easy-to-use experience without changing core requirements. No more PDFs. No added complexity. Just a streamlined experience,' ZDHC said in a statement. In December last year, ZDHC released two critical documents namely Recycled Polyester Guidelines V1.0 and the Industry Standard Implementation Approach V1.0, aimed at transforming sustainable chemical management within the polyester recycling sector. "ZDHC launches Roadmap to Zero digital platform" was originally created and published by Just Style, a GlobalData owned brand.

Cascale Elevates Collaboration in Accelerating Collective Action at ZDHC Event
Cascale was deeply appreciative of ZDHC for recently having Carolina van Loenen, director of stakeholder engagement at Cascale, participate in ZDHC's Convention Week event in Amsterdam. Celebrating a decade of ZDHC's transformative progress in the industry, the event featured a week of sector-focused meetings, cross-industry collaboration, and technical deep dives. It brought together global changemakers to share insights on how to shape the future of responsible production and sustainable chemical management. Van Loenen joined a panel to discuss how sustainability initiatives can better align, reduce duplication, and improve outcomes for suppliers, brands, and the planet. The panel was moderated by Janne Koopmans, collaborations director at ZDHC Foundation, and included Carolin Franitza, stakeholder manager at OEKO-TEX, Francesca Rulli, co-founder at Ympact, and Maria Pulido, global advisor, sustainable trade stakeholders and partnerships at Amfori. Van Loenen emphasized the need to move beyond fragmented efforts, noting that some manufacturers undergo as many as 200 audits a year, an overwhelming challenge which can hinder real progress. Reflecting Cascale's mandate to foster pre-competitive collaboration, she reiterated that most environmental and social challenges — such as factory emissions or excessive overtime — cannot be solved by one brand alone. Van Loenen noted that when competitors align on shared expectations, data systems, and improvement frameworks, it helps create a level playing field and clearer market signals for suppliers. She shared that insufficient cooperation among numerous sustainability initiatives in the apparel and textile industry has slowed progress, leading to duplicative, overlapping, isolated, and at times contradictory audit and improvement programmes, resulting in fragmentation and suboptimal outcomes. Highlighting the importance of collaboration and partnerships, a value proposition for Cascale members, Van Loenen delved into some real-life examples of collaboration in action, including a recent grant-funded pilot project with the Apparel Impact Institute (Aii) and ZDHC. Developed under the umbrella of the apparel alliance program, the Factory Improvement Journey can help brands and supply chain partners clarify how different environmental programmes such as the Higg FEM, Supplier to Zero and Aii Clean by Design can optimize the use of existing tools without duplicating efforts. She shared how the project supported alignment by creating a Data Matrix, which mapped key data points across the three programmes - a first step toward a more open and interoperable data model, reducing audit fatigue, making environmental due diligence more efficient, and thereby consolidating sustainability programmes. She invited other sustainability assessment tools and improvement programs to join the initiative and industry stakeholders to join existing endorsers of the publicly available guidance. Van Loenen's concluding remarks reiterated the urgent need for collective action to achieve meaningful progress. She highlighted the importance of amplifying supplier voices, fostering industry alignment, and true collaboration to accelerate collective action to address complex issues facing the industry. She urged like-minded multistakeholder initiatives to take bold action on data sharing as well as companies to leverage the extensive data insights of tools such as Cascale's Higg Index suite of tools, and The Better Buying Partnership Index (BBPI). These tools offer actionable insights and are designed to drive efficiencies, reduce costs, and enhance both environmental and social performance, ultimately contributing to more resilient supply chains.
