ZDHC launches online academy

In December, the ZDHC Foundation launched the ZDHC Academy, an online portal for ZDHC chemical management training. The academy enables brands and manufacturers to receive certified training to improve their knowledge and practice of responsible chemical management. The release of the platform is significant for the ZDHC program as it shifts its focus from the development of tools to implementation. The first course, “Introduction to Chemical Management in the Textile Industry,” is designed for manufacturers and suppliers. Training is being held in countries including Bangladesh, India, Italy, Turkey and Vietnam. In the future, the ZDHC Academy will provide accredited training modules in up to 20 countries and expand to include additional courses and e-learning possibilities.
