THE ERA OF FULL-DISCLOSURE PRODUCT COMPOSITION DATA IS HEREWith more than 100,000 chemicals on the market, it is no surprise that the chemical and substance legislation continues to expand. CA, China, EU, Japan and Korea RoHS; mercury bans in US states; hazmat legislation in Australia, Canada and South America; and now the most far-reaching Directive to ever impact manufacturers, importers and downstream users: the EU’s Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals, REACH. Additionally, many more companies are going well beyond the six RoHS substances by requiring full disclosure information on dozens, if not hundreds, of chemicals and substances.A GROWING NUMBER OF MATERIAL AND SUBSTANCE RELATED RISKS ARE ALSO HERE Sony’s cadmium-related loss of 110M Euros is legendary. Less well-known are other financial losses e.g.: Dupont’s settlement of more than $100M for PFOA releases; the 22% drop in Sherwin Williams’ stock following a jury verdict regarding lead in paint; and the $70B paid out in asbestos-related claims, bankrupting 66 companies. Understandably, toxicity-related shareholder resolutions are rising sharply.WHAT’S NEEDED? A MATERIAL AND SUBSTANCE MANAGEMENT SOLUTION Companies routinely collect, manage and report financial data.
