Spanish clothing group Mango, which operates in more than 110 countries, has joined the ZDHC Community as a contributor and says the ZDHC Roadmap to Zero Programme will help it achieve best practice chemical management in its production processes and accomplish its goal of zero discharge of hazardous chemicals from its supply chain.

“Mango believes that collaboration is a key factor to accelerate the progress towards zero discharge of hazardous chemicals within the textile industry by sharing the knowledge and involving all the stakeholders,” it adds.

Also joining as a contributor is Fineotex, a specialty chemical manufacturing public listed company with FDA-approved plants in India and Malaysia producing 43,000 tonnes of auxiliaries, supplying to over 69 countries. The company also has a joint venture with BioTex Malaysia and has Bluesign certification.

Meanwhile, John Lewis, Kohl’s, and ZXY International have become the latest ‘friends’ of ZDHC.

John Lewis says the ZDHC Roadmap to Zero Programme will be pivotal in helping the business understand more fully the chemical footprint of the value chain practices and help mitigate its environmental impact through tools and platforms that drive positive change.

Steve Thomas, Kohl’s chief risk and compliance officer, adds the collaboration with ZDHC will help to advance the retailer’s commitment to sound chemical management across its teams, vendors and facilities.
