Mission
WE WORK AT THE INTERFACE BETWEEN SCIENCE AND POLICY TO REDUCE USE OF HARMFUL CHEMICALS IN CONSUMER PRODUCTS AND BUILDING MATERIALS TO PROTECT HUMAN HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT. WE MOTIVATE AND PARTICIPATE IN SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH WORK WITH SCIENTISTS TO SHARE THEIR RESEARCH RESULTS WITH GOVERNMENT, STANDARDS BODIES, AND OTHER DECISION MAKERS AND CONVENE DIVERSE HIGH-LEVEL STAKEHOLDERS TO EFFECT CHANGE IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST. ADDITIONALLY, WE EDUCATE DESIGNERS, RETAILERS, MANUFACTURERS, AND INSTITUTIONAL PURCHASERS TO EMPOWER THEM TO REDUCE THE USE OF ENTIRE CLASSES OF CHEMICALS OF CONCERN IN THE PRODUCTS THEY PRODUCE, SELL, OR BUY. OUR APPROACH HAS PROVEN SUCCESSFUL AT THE LOCAL, NATIONAL, AND INTERNATIONAL LEVEL FOR REDUCING THE USE OF HARMFUL CHEMICALS.
