The bluesign Company Assessment for supplier facilities, which includes comprehensive on-site assessments and stringent criteria for chemical management and environmental performance, is now officially acknowledged as a Recognized Scheme under the ZDHC StZ Programme.
As of now, bluesign System Partner facilities can directly claim their recognition through the ZDHC Supplier Platform.
This recognition streamlines compliance pathways for bluesign System Partner manufacturers already operating at high standards, reducing duplication of efforts and minimizing assessment fatigue. It also reinforces the broader industry movement toward greater alignment and efficiency in sustainable manufacturing practices.
Further guidance will be shared shortly to support partners in navigating the next steps.
