Policy

New markets for safer and more environmentally friendly products;
• Safer products will reduce the risk of future liability lawsuits, which can result in
enormous costs (as has happened with asbestos);
• Increased trust among consumers, employees, local communities and investors, leading
to a more positive business environment;
• Easier introduction of new chemicals onto the market will encourage development and
innovation;
• A more predictable regulatory system will aid future long-term planning by industry;
and
• Improved transparency and communication through the supply chain will lead to
increased power and confidence for downstream users and SMEs.
