-4. Our Objectives ,
-Our objectives can be summarized as follows. ,
-%? , -Eliminate PVC from products and packaging wherever safer alternatives exist, ,
-targeting Zero PVC by 2030. ,
-%? , -Reduce environmental and human health risks associated with PVC throughout its ,
-lifecycle. ,
-%? , -Align with industry best practices to phase out PVC in product components. ,
-%? , -Collaborate with suppliers to drive innovation and accelerate the transition to ,
-PVC-free materials. ,
-%? , -Ensure compliance through monitoring, audits, and supplier accountability. ,
-5. Commitments ,
- , I -dentify and adopt safer alternatives to PVC wherever possible targeting Zero PVC by 2030, ,
