DECISION
INTELLIGENCE
Translating trusted science into standardized metrics and tools to help organizations manage risk, target investments, track progress, and demonstrate leadership.
Driving the Transition to Safer Chemistry
ChemFORWARD’s Decision Intelligence platform is a unified, science-based ecosystem designed to eliminate toxic chemical exposure and accelerate the transition to safer chemistry. By centralizing verified chemical hazard data and translating it into standardized, actionable indicators, we bridge the gap between high-level sustainability goals and the complex realities of global supply chains.
Whether you are a brand managing complex product portfolios, a raw material supplier verifying ingredient safety, or an innovator designing tomorrow's alternatives, our Decision Intelligence tools provide the trusted, "source of truth" needed to make proactive, risk-aware decisions at scale.
The Three Pillars of ChemFORWARD
Decision Intelligence
1. Safer Chemistry Profile Reports
Designed for Brands and Retailers
Measure progress, identify data gaps, and drive portfolio-wide optimization.
Safer Chemistry Profile (SCP) Reports transform complex chemical inventory and product disclosure data into clear, comparable hazard-based metrics aligned with the Safer Chemistry Impact Metrics Framework.
Organizations can easily quantify their chemical footprints including safer chemistry, identify high-hazard "hot spots" (such as D and F Hazard Bands), target strategic investments to resolve information gaps, and track continuous improvement year-over-year.
2. The SAFER™ Verified Program
Designed for Raw Material Suppliers
Demonstrate ingredient safety, build marketplace trust, and stay ahead of global regulations.
The SAFER Verified program uses a rigorous, third-party assessment process to verify the human and environmental safety of raw materials.
Suppliers can confidentially disclose chemical data once, allowing verified hazard classifications to flow securely to stakeholders across the supply chain. This program distinguishes safer ingredients, builds customer trust, and rewards manufacturers with preferred purchasing opportunities in leading supplier marketplaces.
3. Access the Chemical Hazard Data Trust
Designed for Stakeholders, R&D, and Policymakers
Fuel research, accelerate alternatives identification, and standardize chemical safety globally.
Web-based subscription or an API license provide access to comprehensive CHAs. Shared data overcomes historical information bottlenecks, avoids "regrettable substitutions," and ensures that safe chemistry is designed into products from the start.
Alternataives Finder (Beta) allows users to Identify safer alternatives by function, molecular structure, soluability and/or physicochemical properties.
