This side event introduces the concept of the Global Minimum Transparency Standard for Hazardous Chemicals in products.
The Global Minimum Transparency Standard (GMTS) is a tool for companies to disclose hazardous chemicals in their products along the whole lifecycle. This will help to achieve an equal level of access to information for all stakeholders, irrespective of country and within and outside the supply chains. The GMTS is a step towards stricter regulation or even a complete phase-out of hazardous chemicals as well as global safety of human health and the environment.
