The aim of Global Product Strategy (GPS) is to contribute to improving the
chemical industry’s performance on chemicals management and product
stewardship worldwide to ensure that chemicals in commerce are managed safely
and in an environmentally sound manner throughout their lifecycle. GPS results
from the first International Conference on Chemical Management held in 2006.
During this conference the chemical industry, represented by the
International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA), made a public
commitment to enhance chemical safety down the value chain through the
implementation of the Responsible Care global charter and GPS.
The ultimate goal of GPS is to increase public and stakeholder awareness and
confidence that chemicals in commerce are safely managed throughout their
lifecycle. DSM fully supports the goal of GPS.
