Footprint Measurement
Why Footprint Measurement?
13
the total mass of chemicals of high concern (CoHCs) in products sold by a company,
used in its manufacturing operations, its facilities and by its suppliers,
and contained in packaging.
14
Definition: Chemical Footprint
Definition: Chemical of High Concern (CoHC)
15
• carcinogen, mutagen, or reproductive toxicant (CMR)• persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic substance (PBT)• any other chemical for which there is scientific evidence of probable serious effects to
human health or the environment that give rise to an equivalent level of concern• a chemical whose breakdown products result in a CoHC that meets any of the above
criteria

CFP Survey
F1. Has your company set goals for reducing CoHCs in the products you sell and measured progress toward these goals? (5 points)
17
Our company:
a. has set goal(s) for reducing CoHCs by count or mass.
b. publicly discloses the goal(s).
c. publicly discloses specific CoHC(s) included in the goal(s).
d. publicly reports annually on progress towards meeting goals. OR
e. has no CoHCs in our products and publicly discloses this information. OR
f. has none of the above.
18
Intent
Inquire about:
• specific goals for reducing CoHCs in products
• extent to which your company publicly discloses these goals.
F1. Has your company set goals for reducing CoHCs in the products you sell and measured progress toward these goals?
19
Examples:
• Walmart: reduce chemical footprint by 10% by 2022 for consumables
• GOJO Industries: reduce chemical footprint by 50% by 2020 for consumables
• Kaiser Permanente: 50% of purchasers are Environmentally Preferable Products by 2025 (incudes extensive RSL, including Prop 65 chemicals)
F1. Has your company set goals for reducing CoHCs in the products you sell and measured progress toward these goals?
F2. How does your company measure its baseline chemical footprint recent year for which you have data? (8 points)
20
a. had intentionally added CoHCs/SVHCs in its products = ________ CoHCs/SVHCs by count and/or
b. had intentionally added CoHCs in its products = ________ CoHCs/SVHCs by mass (kg), or
c. had no intentionally added CoHCs in its products, or
d. is unable to answer this question at this time.

CFP Chemicals of High Concern Reference List
• Compiled from 14 lists of hazardous chemicals developed by governments & other
authoritative bodies
• Includes any chemical or chemical group that meets any combination of the CFP criteria
• Over 2,200 chemicals and chemical groups
• Static for reporting period, updated as of 10/31/2018
• Aligns with GreenScreen List Translator 1 chemicals
23
European Union Substances of Very High Concern ListReference List OPTION
• One of the source lists for the full CFP Chemicals of High Concern List
• 191 chemicals• Many companies already track chemicals on this list

Footprint Measurement Options
• Report mass and/or count of CoHCs• Two reference list options:
– Full list: CFP CoHC 2018 List (2,200 chemicals & chemical groups
– Subset of full list: EU REACH Candidate SVHC List (191 chemicals)

Chemical Footprint: Mass vs. Count

Total count: Number of CoHCs intentionally added across all products
Total mass of CoHCs
Sum of the massof CoHCs for all parts in a product
Number of products sold

32
Example: ArticleCalculation
Examples of limited scope footprints
• Count of SVHCs (short list) across all products• Mass of CoHCs (long list) for partial product portfolio• Footprint of zero for single product line
GOAL: Companies begin to calculate their chemical footprint, even if partial, to serve as a baseline metric for hazard reduction
33
F3. Over the most recent year for which you have data, how much have intentionally added CoHCs in your products changed? (8 points)
34
a. Our company’s difference in the number of intentionally added CoHCs/SVHCs in products: CoHCs/SVHCs by count
b. Our company’s difference in the mass of intentionally added CoHCs in products: CoHCs/SVHCs by mass (kg)
c. Our company is unable to calculate baseline chemical footprint for beginning of reporting period. however, the number and/or mass of intentionally added CoHCs changed by the following amount over the reporting period:
d. Our company’s products did not contain intentionally added CoHCs for the reporting period. e. Our company is unable to answer this question at this time.
F3. Over the most recent year for which you have data, how much have intentionally added CoHCs in your products changed?
35
Intent• Quantitative measurement of changes in intentionally added
CoHCs in your company’s products over the past reporting year.
• Goal: report change in chemical footprint• Option for reporting reduction only
F4. How does your company assess the hazards of chemicals in its products? (3 points)
36
a. Our company uses a system or tool (internal or third party) to evaluate chemical hazards. Identify the system or tool: __________.
b. Our company asks suppliers to provide their evaluations of chemical hazards in the products they sell to us.
c. For what percentage of products has your company assessed these hazards, using methods in a and/or b? __________.
d. Our company does not currently assess the hazards of chemicals in its products beyond regulatory requirements.
37
Intent:• How and to what extent your company assesses chemical
hazards in your products beyond regulatory requirements. • Safety data sheets alone are insufficient to receive credit for
this question.
F4. How does your company assess the hazards of chemicals in its products?
a. Our company uses a system or tool (internal or third party) to evaluate chemical hazards. • If internal: describe the tool/database – how does it assess
hazards of chemicals • If external: state the tool/database Examples
– Cradle to Cradle, GreenScreen, SciVera Lens, SIN List– If using HPDC, the tool is GreenScreen List Translator
38
F4. How does your company assess the hazards of chemicals in its products?
b. Our company asks suppliers to provide their evaluations of chemical hazards in the products they sell to us. • Describe
– ask of suppliers, for example, for all chemicals or just certain classes of chemicals or certain products
– how data are collected and managed
39
F4. How does your company assess the hazards of chemicals in its products?
c. For what percentage of products has your company assessed these hazards, using methods in a and/or b? __________.• State percentage and how the percentage is calculated• For example, we assess the hazards of formulated products
(but not articles), and formulated products represent 75% of sales by dollars
40

F4. How does your company assess the hazards of chemicals in its products? (3 points)
41
Scoring: Respondents will receive points according to the percentage of their products for which they assess hazard (option “a”) and/or for which they receive information from their suppliers (option “b”).• If answer for a. “GreenScreen for Safer Chemicals”• If answer for b. Do not ask suppliers to provide chemical hazard data.• If answer for c. 66.67% (describe how the calculation was derived, e.g., percent of
formulated products based on sales by dollars)• Total score: 2 points = 3 points x 66.67%
