Textile and footwear manufacturing has long been regarded as one of the most ecologically polluted industries in the world. Complex manufacturing processes and long supply chains make managing chemicals and meeting the zero-discharge target challenging.

As the textile and footwear supply chains strive for the zero discharge goal, they must demonstrate compliance with the Manufacturing Restricted Substance List (MRSL) and Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC) target for wastewater and sludge discharges.

The key to successful chemical management is knowledge, traceability and effective implementation of chemical management plans and risk assessments. On Friday, August 14 2026, our expert, along with members from ZDHC Foundation, will address key issues through an interactive and practical approach to learning.

This webinar is designed for quality and regulatory compliance professionals (Buyers, Manufacturers, Merchants & Quality Assurance Executives) in the textile industry.

Agenda:

Opening speech & ZDHC updates by ZDHC
Chemical Conformance: ZDHC MRSL conformance certification & SGS Solutions
InCheck Solution: Performance InCheck & Verified InCheck
