More than 80,000 chemicals are used in commerce today, and only a small fraction have been tested for effects on human health. There is growing evidence that environmental exposures to some chemicals contribute to cancer, asthma, reproductive disorders, and other health conditions.
To address these health concerns, we’ve integrated a robust set of purchasing standards into our product sourcing processes that include criteria for safe chemicals and sustainable waste disposal.
By 2025, we will increase our purchase of products and materials meeting environmental standards to 50%.
