The production, trade, use, and release of many synthetic chemicals is now widely recognised as a global threat to human health and the environment.

Yet, the world's chemical industries continue to produce and release thousands of chemical compounds every year, in most cases with none or very little testing and understanding of their impacts on people and the environment.

Greener Electronics

The world is consuming more and more electronic products every year. This has caused a dangerous explosion in electronic scrap (e-waste) containing toxic chemicals and heavy metals that cannot be disposed of or recycled safely. But this problem can be avoided. We are pressing leading electronic companies for change to turn back the toxic tide of e-waste.

IT Climate Leadership Challenge

Exposing electronics companies to public pressure is helping to green the industry. We know they could do much more, not only to clean up their own act, but to help the planet avoid runaway climate change.

That's why we've begun the IT Climate Leadership Challenge. The aim in 2009 is primarily to get influential IT execs to lobby key governments for a strong, planet-saving agreement at the December climate change summit in Copenhagen.
