“There is no sustainability without chemical control”
This statement is increasingly echoed in the environmental policies of leading global fashion brands. Today, sustainable transformation in the fashion industry depends on the responsible management of chemicals across the entire supply chain.
In this context, the ZDHC – Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals programme has become a reference: a structured, practical, and constantly evolving system designed to reduce the environmental impact of textile, leather, and footwear production.
Why ZDHC is strategic
ZDHC is a comprehensive operational ecosystem. It enables brands and suppliers to implement effective controls, measure chemical performance, and mitigate risks throughout the production cycle. By adopting ZDHC tools, such as the InCheck, and its various guidelines, like the Wastewater and Sludge Testing or the Chemical certfication (ZDHC MRSL), companies can demonstrate their environmental commitment using harmonised, measurable, and internationally recognised criteria.
For brands, this means ensuring consistent, reliable standards across complex and global supply chains.
For suppliers, it opens the door to new market opportunities by positioning them as credible, compliant partners.
The value of collaboration
To accelerate the practical implementation of ZDHC tools, ongoing dialogue, training, and knowledge sharing are essential. With this goal in mind, Analytical Group, as a ZDHC Solution Provider, hosted the ZDHC Roadshow 2025 on 15 April in Creazzo (VI), Italy.
Key topics included:
- The latest updates on the Roadmap to Zero
- ZDHC implementation at LVMH Group
- Evolving regulations on PFAS
- The strategic value of chemical data reporting and digital chemical inventory management
