Getting Ahead of Chemical Compliance Risk

Chemical compliance is becoming harder to manage through reactive processes alone. Regulatory lists continue expanding, PFAS scrutiny is accelerating globally, and manufacturers face increasing pressure to make defensible decisions about the materials embedded deep within their supply chains. 

In our webinar, Source Intelligence and ChemFORWARD explore how companies can shift from reactive compliance management toward proactive, hazard-informed decision-making. The session examines how organizations can use structured product data, hazard intelligence, and supplier transparency to reduce redesign risk, improve product sustainability, and prepare for future regulations before they disrupt the business. 

Turn fragmented chemical data into proactive, science-based compliance decisions

This webinar explores how manufacturers can integrate chemical hazard intelligence into procurement, engineering, and product design workflows to identify safer alternatives earlier in the lifecycle. You’ll learn why traditional restricted substance screening is no longer enough, how hazard-based evaluations improve long-term decision-making, and how companies like Google are embedding safer chemistry into product development strategies.

What’s covered in the webinar 

Chemical compliance programs are under growing pressure from expanding regulations, fragmented supplier data, and increasing expectations around sustainability and product safety. This session focuses on how organizations can move beyond reactive compliance workflows and build scalable systems for proactive chemical risk management. 

Why reactive compliance models are failing 

How fragmented supply chain data, manual audits, evolving regulations, and disconnected workflows are creating operational inefficiencies, delayed product launches, and increased redesign risk across global supply chains. 

The growing complexity of chemical regulations

How expanding global regulations, PFAS restrictions, REACH updates, RoHS exemption expirations, and copycat legislations are increasing the volume and complexity of compliance obligations manufacturers must manage. 

The limitations of restricted substance list screening 

Why traditional list-based compliance approaches only identify known regulatory risks and often fail to prevent regrettable substitutions or future chemical exposure concerns. 

How hazard-based decision-making improves product design

How organizations can use chemical hazard assessments to evaluate safer alternatives earlier in product development and reduce long-term environmental, operational, and reputational risk. 

Integrating ChemFORWARD hazard intelligence with Source Intelligence

How ChemFORWARD’s Chemical Hazard Data Trust provides standardized hazard assessments that can be integrated directly into Source Intelligence workflows for procurement, engineering, and compliance teams. 

Building a proactive compliance system of record 

How manufacturers can connect ERP, PLM, BOM, supplier, and material data to create centralized visibility into chemical risks across complex product hierarchies. 

Google's safer chemistry efforts

How Google evaluated candidate solvents using ChemFORWARD hazard assessments to identify a lower-hazard alternative that met performance requirements while supporting long-term sustainability goals. 

Using hazard intelligence to improve supplier collaboration

How organizations can establish measurable safer chemistry goals, reduce redesign cycles, improve supplier communication, and create more defensible sustainability claims. 

Why watch the full webinar? 

Many organizations are facing the same challenge: growing chemical compliance expectations without the resources to continuously react to every new regulation. This webinar explains how companies can shift compliance upstream and make more informed, scalable decisions before risk becomes disruption. 

You’ll come away better equipped to: 

• Move from reactive compliance management to proactive chemical risk reduction  
• Identify hazardous materials earlier in procurement and product design workflows  
• Reduce redesign costs and supply chain disruptions tied to emerging regulations  
• Evaluate safer alternatives using science-based hazard intelligence  
• Improve visibility into chemicals buried deep within complex supply chains  
• Create defensible sustainability and safer chemistry claims  
• Align compliance, sourcing, engineering, and sustainability teams around shared data  
• Establish measurable progress toward safer chemistry goals across the organization
