Stahl joins bluesign system

24/10/2017
Leather chemicals maker Stahl has achieved the bluesign partner status, through which players throughout the supply chain jointly reduce their impact.

Huub van Beijeren, Stahl’s CEO, said: "The best way for the industry to achieve a sustainable future is via transparency and cooperation. The bluesign system partnership complements our portfolio of activities aligned to achieving a more transparent supply chain and eliminating hazardous substances." 
The bluesign system is based on a practice called Input Stream Management, which helps companies to replace hazardous chemicals with safer alternatives.

Stahl has committed to optimising management systems for environmental performance in five areas: resource productivity, consumer safety, water emissions, air emissions and occupational health and safety.
