Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

• Limited standardized public disclosure on hazardous chemicals used and produced globally.
• Difficulty in assessing the full range of health and environmental impacts of every registered chemical.
• Climate change remobilizing chemicals from landfills and altering pollution pathways.
• Increased material recycling making it difficult to trace and remove hazardous substances.
• Persistence of hazardous chemicals in the environment (especially PFAS).

Mitigation Strategies

• Proactive engagement with chemical companies to advocate for greater transparency and reduction of hazardous chemicals.
• Allocating capital towards sustainable solutions and companies developing safer alternatives.
• Investing in companies developing technologies to address existing chemical pollution.
• Encouraging companies to publicly disclose the full extent of their material exposure to hazardous chemicals.
