Josh brings a wealth of experience in managing scalable software projects and a proven track record of guiding highly complex projects to success. From startups to the largest global enterprises, his key strength is cultivating user-centered design and engagement by being proactive with customers and end-users, foundations of success for ChemFORWARD.

Heine brings decades of experience and leadership in green chemistry and engineering, alternatives assessment and multi-stakeholder collaboration which will accelerate ChemFORWARD’s efforts to enable a prosperous, toxic-free future for people, the planet and commerce. She is the ideal technical leader to drive ChemFORWARD’s mission to equip industry leaders who want to do the right thing with reliable access to authoritative material health data.

Through the partnership, H&M will help ChemFORWARD refine and scale its chemical-hazard screening and assessment tools to be the most trusted source of verified, actionable data available to the fashion industry as well as other global manufacturers.

The new modules feature ChemFORWARD’S free screening tool, MaterialWise powered by the Healthy Building Network’s Pharos database. The tool offers users full access to more than 100,000 known chemicals of concern, along with information about common uses and exposures and why certain hazards matter. Modules guide users in such undertakings as running their own product-redesign workshop or shifting an organization’s business strategy to prioritize material health.
